Python: Uncovering the Overlooked Core Functionalities

• async_presentation

  1 3 10.0 Python

  Some examples to demonstrate async principles and co-routines.

This is the basis of most older async frameworks (see: Tornado, Twisted). A while ago I put together a short talk on how to go from this feature -> a very basic version of Twisted's @inline_callback decorator.

• CPython

  The Python programming language

  

> In my mind this is a holdover from when Python was much more procedural/C-like

That never existed.

The earliest commits are spotty and incomplete, but e.g. the first commit in which I can find the len() builtin (https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/c636014c430620325f8...) also has calls to file.read and list.append, and the first python-level methods are created just a few commits later (https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/336f2816cd3599b0347...).

This was years before magic methods were even added (https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/04691fc1c1bb737c0db...).

So no, it's not a "holdover from" anything.
