Hello, I've just posted a new PEP about adding async/await to python-ideas. Maybe I should have posted it here instead.. Anyways, please take a look. Thanks, Yury

Hi Yury, Hi List, I do certainly like the idea of PEP 492, just some small comments: why do we need two keywords? To me it is not necessarily intuitive when to use async and when to use await (why is it async for and not await for?), so wouldn't it be much simpler, and more symmetric, to just have one keyword? I personally prefer await for that, then it is "await def", and "await for" (and "await with", etc.). Greetings Martin

"await" is a verb - call for action, while "async" is an adjective (although non-existent in plain English). Hence "async" tells us that the statement after it is asynchronous. At least that's my reasoning about it ;) Yury
