Description

Notes to self, stuff I want to add soon-ish:

  • add some narrative docs about async filesystem IO
    in particular mentioning thread-safety issues and why/when this is useful

add tables showing methods:

  • stream ABCs
  • async filesystem methods

tutorial:

  • rework intro a bit to say that trio = regular synchronous python + 3 things: async functions, nurseries (and MultiError), and cancellation
    • and maybe also frame it around the 3 pillars of trio's design philosophy (no implicit concurrency, no lost exceptions, expose checkpoints)
  • include a "where to ask questions" note
  • talk about MultiError
  • talk about cancellation
  • review how these all fit together
