This code adds an iomgr implementation that's backed by an EventEngine. This uses the EventEngine API alone, and separate work will introduce an EventEngine prototype to plug into it.
See also drfloob#1: @nicolasnoble has a pull request against this branch, implementing the libuv-based EventEngine. One goal here is to implement the iomgr code such that it can be merged independently without affecting normal builds.
This implementation can be built using bazel build --cxxopt='-DGRPC_USE_EVENT_ENGINE' :all
Some shortcuts are being taken to get a working, testable version of the engine. EventEngines are not pluggable, for example.
The source code is moved from src/python to
src/python/src. A setup.py is added at
src/python. The build_python.sh and
run_python.sh scripts are updated to build
and run the Python tests by building a
package and installing it in the developer's
Python 2.7 virtual environment.
