The core distinguishing feature between async/await and gevent is the visibility of suspension points, so it might as well be the case that async/await is designed for exactly those people who want visible suspension points.
They're not quite independent axes, though. Gevent is based on greenlet, which relies on some slightly dubious tricks at the C level and doesn't play well with some external libraries. As far as I know, there's no current alternative that's just as efficient and portable as asyncio but without the extra keywords. If you want the full benefits of asyncio, you're forced to accept explicit suspension points. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
