It means that code written for Tulip and Trollius will need to be
modified to use:
try:
from asyncio import ... # Tulip, Python 3.4+
except ImportError:
from trollius import ... # Trollius for Python < 3.3
A similar pattern is used for code working on Python 2 and Python 3,
but it's not surprising.
But it opens a new question: would it be possible to mix code using
Trollius (trollius) and Tulip (asyncio) in the same process? I mean
use the same event loop. A Trollius event loop should be used to
support Trollius coroutines (using yield). Would it possible to use
Tulip code (ex: aiohttp) with such loop?
I should play with such setup to see how it can work :-)
A "trollius" module name would avoid confusion between Tulip (yield
from) and Trollius (yield).
