New submission from Vincent Michel <vxgmic...@gmail.com>:

It's currently not possible to receive replies from multicast UDP with asyncio, 
as reported in the following issue:

https://github.com/python/asyncio/issues/480

That's because asyncio connects the UDP socket to the broadcast address, 
causing all traffic from the receivers to be be dropped, as explained in this 
comment:
https://github.com/python/asyncio/issues/480#issuecomment-278703828

I already submitted a PR on the cpython repository:
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/423

I figured it was better to report the issue here for better tracking.
