Python vs Go round 2.

ex2.go

package main

import "fmt"

func ping(c chan string) {
	fmt.Println("starting ping")
	for {
		c <- "ping"
		pong := <-c
		fmt.Println(pong)
	}
}

func pong(c chan string) {
	fmt.Println("starting pong")
	for {
		ping := <-c
		fmt.Println(ping)
		c <- "pong"
	}
}

func main() {
	c := make(chan string)

	go ping(c)
	go pong(c)

	// Block forever
	select {}
}

ex2.py

def ping():
    while True:
        yield "ping"
        pong = yield
        print pong

def pong():
    while True:
        ping = yield
        print ping
        yield "pong"

# ok but how to route them around? no channels :(

the second : dispatcher is a good idea. http://pydispatcher.sourceforge.net/
