Hello,<br>
<br>
A while ago at EuroPython, Mikeal Rogers and I talked about Deferreds<br>
and how they don't really depend on the rest of Twisted. Later, Mikeal<br>
made a branch that extracted Deferred out of the rest of Twisted, and<br>
I contributed a patch to make it more correct.<br>
<br>
You can find the latest release at:<br>
<a href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/deferred/0.2" target="_blank">http://pypi.python.org/pypi/deferred/0.2</a><br>
<br>
I've also made a project for it on Launchpad:<br>
<a href="https://launchpad.net/deferred" target="_blank">https://launchpad.net/deferred</a><br>
<br>
So you can get the code with 'bzr branch lp:deferred'. Mikeal is<br>
maintaining the official trunk branch on Github.<br>
<br>
I haven't heard anything about it on this list, so I thought I'd<br>
mention to see what you all think and whether we should do anything<br>
about it.<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
I think this is a good idea, except you didn't mention anything about<br>
the plan for keeping this separate codebase synchronized with Twisted<br>
development. I hope the plan isn't to allow it to become out of date.<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
Well, I don't know if there's a plan per se. I'm personally not<br>
intending to maintain the code.<br>
</blockquote>
<br></div>
Hm. Is Mikeal? Is he on this list?</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Just had to join in order to reply.</div><div><br></div><div>Anyone who wants to contribute is welcome to fork it and send me pull requests on github. I don't keep up with current Twisted development so I doubt I'll be in the loop enough to keep this up to date.</div>

However, if I were the maintainer, I think that I would like Twisted<br>
to depend on this code, dropping its own Deferred implementation. </blockquote></div></blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"><div class="im"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

It would be pretty neat to be able to do that. I don't think it will happen unless someone is actively working towards it, though.<br>
