This would be great!

I see there's a branch. What is the status of this feature?

[lnoor]

Hi. Yes there is lnoor/asyncio based on the work of DrPyser and Dan Gusev.
As you can see it's been a while since I worked on it.

Status at the moment is that there is an async dispatcher and server. I'm working on async transports and their tests.
There is currently little to no progress. Other activities take precendence at the moment.

But it is good to know that people are still interested in this feature.
Is your interest primarily server or client side.
Although I have a couple of ideas about it, I haven't started work on the client side yet.
If you are willing to help out, I gladly share those ideas and see what comes of it.

[amitlissack]

I am very interested in client and server. I will take a peek at your branch and see if I can contribute.

[lnoor]

Please do.
If you want to work on it let's talk what needs to be done.
It would be regrettable if your work is not included.

Are you planning to create AsyncServerTransport derived versions of all the Transport classes?

[lnoor]

No, only those I expect to use myself: CallbackServerTransport and perhaps ZmqServerTransport or WsgiServerTransport.

"Are you planning to create AsyncServerTransport derived versions of all the Transport classes?"
Is that perhaps a way to ask what I plan to do myself?
If so, you're welcome to work on the server part as well.

[amitlissack]

Not really. I was curious to know what your strategy was for supporting asyncio. Whether each client and server transport would need asyncio vs non-asyncio versions.

I apologize for not responding sooner. Busy time.
