[Yield-users] imitating the 'socket' module

[Phoenix S. <ph...@bu...>]

Hello,

I just found Yield, and I'm very excited about it. Thank-you so much for
sharing it!

The interest that brought me to it is this: high performance async socket
operations in Stackless. I used Richard Tew's stacklesssocket.py for a
while, and was mostly pleased with it. I really like the monkeypatch
approach, because it allows you to use any code that imports the socket
module. Looking for higher performance for a project I'm working on, I
decided to try the same approach using pyevent. So far I've been
disappointed in the performance gained, and I'm not very confident in
pyevent because it's unmaintained and depends on an old version of libevent.
So looking around, I found Yield.

I'm already pretty determined to develop my project with Yield, but at this
point I'm still not sure if I can use existing code that depends on a
'socket' module. I'm just getting started studying Yield, and would
appreciate any advice on where to look / how to go about building a module
that imitates the standard 'socket' module (ssl being very important), so
that I can use code built on the standard libraries: httplib, urllib(2),
etc.

Thanks a heap!
