[Zodb-checkins] CVS: ZODB3/ThreadedAsync - LoopCallback.py:1.7

[Barry Warsaw]

Update of /cvs-repository/ZODB3/ThreadedAsync
In directory cvs.zope.org:/tmp/cvs-serv28670

Modified Files:
	LoopCallback.py 
Log Message:
Remove the direct rebinding of asyncore.loop to this module's loop()
function.  This was a nasty decoy (am I using that term correctly?
:).

Because we're worried about backward compatibility, for now we'll
rebind asyncore.loop() to a function that prints a warning and then
calls loop().  Eventually we'll take this away so you have to call
ThreadedAsync.loop() explicitly.
