Long story short, I've discovered that asyncio is broken in 3.5.2. Specifically, there is a callbacks race in `loop.sock_connect` which can make subsequent `loop.sock_sendall` calls to hang forever. This thing is very tricky and hard to detect and debug; I had to spend a few hours investigating what's going on with a failing unittest in uvloop (asyncio-compatible event loop). I can only imagine how hard it would be to understand what's going on in a larger codebase.
For those who is interested, here's a PR for asyncio repo: https://github.com/python/asyncio/pull/366 It explains the bug in detail and there has a proposed patch to fix the problem.
Larry and the release team: would it be possible to make an "emergency" 3.5.3 release?
I've looped in the rest of the 3.5 release team. By the way, I don't know why you Cc'd Nick and Brett. While they're fine fellows, they aren't on the release team, and they aren't involved in these sorts of decisions. //arry/
