Thanks for your response, Andrew! I understand that as the author of aiohttp enjoy the freedom of evolving it faster than the standard library can evolve. That has worked really well for aiohttp and for requests too.
However, as an instructor, author and evangelist I see tremendous value in having ready to use modules for async HTTP clients and servers in the standard library, similar to what Go has. No need for routing, middlewares or WebSocket support, just a bare-bones library that people can put to immediate use before "graduating" to aiohttp. That would make it much easier to introduce people to asyncio.
