Aaargh, this is what we get for overloading the word "coroutine". The Wikipedia article is talking about a technique where coroutines yield control to other explicitly identified coroutines.
Yep, I understand that. It's just that that's what I understand by coroutines.
Coroutines in asyncio don't work that way; instead they just suspend themselves, and the event loop takes care of deciding which one to run next.
Precisely. As I say, the terminology is probably not going to change now - no big deal in practice. Paul
