asyncio 3.4.3 : Python Package Index

asyncio 3.4.3 : Python Package Index: "The asyncio module provides infrastructure for writing single-threaded concurrent code using coroutines, multiplexing I/O access over sockets and other resources, running network clients and servers, and other related primitives. Here is a more detailed list of the package contents:

a pluggable event loop with various system-specific implementations;
transport and protocol abstractions (similar to those in Twisted);
concrete support for TCP, UDP, SSL, subprocess pipes, delayed calls, and others (some may be system-dependent);
a Future class that mimics the one in the concurrent.futures module, but adapted for use with the event loop;
coroutines and tasks based on yield from (PEP 380), to help write concurrent code in a sequential fashion;
cancellation support for Futures and coroutines;
synchronization primitives for use between coroutines in a single thread, mimicking those in the threading module;
an interface for passing work off to a threadpool, for times when you absolutely, positively have to use a library that makes blocking I/O calls."
