Eh, there's at least twisted and gevent they it's not really even a competitor to.

I came up with some justification for the name about how something like https://youtu.be/1U1wqOzjR94 is a great example of elegantly coordinated concurrency, but of course the real reason is that it's a 4 letter word ending in "io" that wasn't already taken on pypi :-)

Great work, BTW!
