There has been some discussion over email between myself and
several<br>
Twisted developers regarding the possibility of adding support
for PEP<br>
3148 futures and executors to Twisted. I'm starting this
thread to move<br>
the conversation to this mailing list to gain a broader
audience.<br>
<br>
For those who do not know what PEP 3148 is about, suffice to
say that<br>
it's an API for deferred execution of code.</blockquote>

<div>I just want to make clear up-front the subtle point that
Twisted's Deferreds are not tools for "deferred execution of
code", but rather for "deferred receipt of results". It's easy
to forget this and believe that the similar jargon implies
similarity in purpose.</div>

I never wanted to imply that -- I apologize if I left the wrong
impression. PEP 3148 Futures have the exact same high level purpose
as Deferreds in that they are essentially receipts for results. Like
Deferreds, they are not tied to any particular executor.<br>
