Ops! There is a misprint here, I meant "writing a facility to run
iterators in TKINTER",
not in Twisted. Twisted has already everything, even too much. I would
like to have
a better support for asynchronous programming in the standard library,
for people
not needing the full power of Twisted. I also like to keep my
dependencies at a minimum.
