As far as I can find out, it is a misspelling of 'executor'. If the designers of some other language made a stupid mistake, let them correct it instead of us following them over a cliff. Unlike this one, the other name suggestions look at least plausible and worth a couple of minutes of consideration. As for the module itself, part of the justification to me for accepting it would be if it is part of a larger plan, even if currently vague, to refactor and improve Python's support for concurrent execution, as implied by the name 'concurrent.futures'. If Jesse accepts it, I would take it as some kind of commitment to help with at least one other concurrent.x module so this one is not an orphan. While concurrent execution does not *currently* affect me, I am convinced that better support will be important for Python's future. Terry Jan Reedy
