The asyncore module is only used by one file in taskflow (https://opendev.org/openstack/taskflow/src/branch/master/taskflow/engines/action_engine/process_executor.py)

And the class in this file is only used when creating a "parallel" taskflow engine (the default is "serial") with a ProcessPool executor.

I didn't find any use of a parallel engine with a ProcessPool executor in codesearch, many projects use the default serial engine, and the projects that use the parallel engine use a ThreadPool executor.

Maybe we could consider removing this process executor class if nobody uses it.

Therefore, building the taskflow package (and many other packages that
depends on it, like Cinder) fails.

Can someone write a patch to get rid of the use of asyncore? Will using
asincio instead fail because of our use of Eventlet?
