model of asynchronous programming in Python and make it as close to
synchronous programming as possible.
This PEP assumes that the asynchronous tasks are scheduled and
coordinated by an Event Loop similar to that of stdlib module
``asyncio.events.AbstractEventLoop``. While the PEP is not tied to any
specific Event Loop implementation, it is relevant only to the kind of
coroutine that uses "yield" as a signal to the scheduler, indicating
that the coroutine will be waiting until an event (such as IO) is
completed.
We believe that the changes proposed here will help keep Python
relevant and competitive in a quickly growing area of asynchronous
programming, as many other languages have adopted, or are planning to
