to the latter that works with ``yield from``. To prevent accidentally
blocking the event loop by calling e.g. ``result()`` on a Future
that's not don yet, the blocking operation may detect that an event
that's not done yet, the blocking operation may detect that an event
loop is active in the current thread and raise an exception instead.
However the current PEP strives to have no dependencies beyond Python
3.3, so changes to ``concurrent.futures.Future`` are off the table for
now.
There is one public function related to Futures. It is:
- ``wrap_future(future)``. This takes a PEP 3148 Future (i.e., an
instance of ``concurrent.futures.Future``) and returns a Future
compatible with the event loop (i.e., a ``tulip.Future`` instance).
