No. Glad you asked, that might not be clear. It will not modify the *files*, only the content of the modules after importing them. It adds the missing ABCs to the collections.abc module and registers Cython's own types with them *at runtime*. Here's what it does: https://github.com/cython/cython/blob/bb0dec2/Cython/Utility/Coroutine.c#L1322 This is a bit fragile, like all monkey-patching. As long as things get imported in the right order, it works. But if you import asyncio before a Cython module that adds the ABCs, it may already have decided that the ABCs don't exist and won't use them. That's controllable on user application side, though. Also, the first patcher necessarily wins, so if there will ever be updates to the ABCs, old Cython modules would still patch in the old versions when imported first. They should tend to be quite stable, though. In any case, this will get better over time as more code switches to Py3.5 and later.
