I could use pytest or Martin Richard's asynctest[1].  I want the ability to
test asynchronous code without pulling in a 3rd party library.  I noticed
that a number of the libraries in https://github.com/aio-libs/ have their
own custom-rolled test support in addition to those that use pytest.

Now that the async/await syntax has landed, the Standard Library should
provide the ability to test event loop driven code.  This will remove at
least on barrier to entry for async/await based code -- you can simply
test it using unittest.

- cheers, dave.
