While stumbling upon the newly introduced selectors module, I was wondering why all the major I/O waiting mechanisms are available but iocp. Is there somewhere a plugin with iocp functionality?

Maybe [ProactorEventLoop](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-eventloops.html#asyncio.ProactorEventLoop) in [asyncio](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-eventloops.html) – Paul Rooney May 17 '15 at 23:47

@PaulRooney Id like to have a solution in which I'm not bound to anything (like asyncio => which cant be used in conjunction with normal threads). But you are right that one could probably take ProactorEventLoop and isolate the iocp part from asyncio. I don't get why this wasnt done similar to the selectors module, – nullptr May 18 '15 at 08:07
