This Python library is created to support asynchronous I/O (Input/Output) operations. Unlike most platform-independent asynch I/O libraries, pyasynchio is simple. You do not have to know much about programming and anything about AIO in particular to use pyasynchio. Unlike, for example, famous asyncore library, pyasynchio does not require you to use some object-oriented approaches, implement certain interfaces or do anything similar. However you should understand what file or socket is, because currently pyasynchio provides I/O only for files and sockets. See http://pyasynchio.berlios.de/pyasynchio-about.htm for more details. -- Sincerely, Vladimir Sukhoy
