[Python-Dev] PEP 492 quibble and request

From the PEP:

Why not a __future__ import

__future__ imports are inconvenient and easy to forget to add.

That is a horrible rationale for not using an import. By that logic we should have everything in built-ins. ;)

Working example ...

The working example only uses async def and await, not async with nor async for nor __aenter__, etc., etc. Could you put in a more complete example -- maybe a basic chat room with both server and client -- that demonstrated more of the new possibilities? Having gone through the PEP again, I am still no closer to understanding what happens here: data = await reader.read(8192) What does the flow of control look like at the interpreter level? -- ~Ethan~
