[Xmpppy-devel] async events

[<lui...@ne...>]

Hello,

The current support for asynchronous events seems to be lacking. There=20=

is no mechanism to allow waiting for both xmppy and external events.=20
For instance, if you have a GUI that might, at some arbitrary point in=20=

time, send a message then you have to specify a low timeout in=20
client.Process(), so that you can keep checking for xmppy events and=20
GUI events. There needs to be a way of interrupting Process(). Using a=20=

low timeout is a waste of system resources and making the timeout=20
bigger will result in latency processing external requests.

How about something like specifying a file descriptor (or something=20
more Pythonic) in Process(), that will interrupt the waiting when data=20=

is available?

That needs to be addressed, if more than reactive clients are to be=20
built.
Thanks. Merry Xmas :)
