I'm slowly warming up to Greg's notion that you can't call a coroutine (or whatever it's called) without a special keyword. This makes a whole class of bugs obvious the moment the code is executed. OTOH I'm still struggling with what you have to do to wrap a coroutine in a Task, the way its done in asyncio by the Task() constructor, the loop.create_task() method, and the async() function (perhaps to be renamed to ensure_task() to make way for the async keyword). -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido)
