> This mirrors my experience precisely. I was very excited about async/await, hoping that this would integrate coroutines into regular Python scripts, without the need to manage some complex dispatch engine. I was equally disappointed to learn that it's business as usual, with painful and inadequate semantics out of the box. You're not supposed to use async/await without a framework like asyncio or tornado. One way to provide a better UX is to merge asyncio into Python on a deeper level, but this is something that many people won't like.
