Hi,

You can use uvloop, for example, without using asyncio:

import uvloop
loop = uvloop.new_event_loop()
loop.run_forever()

Best regards,

I'm surprised this is true - with dedicated syntax like async def/await, it's still not THE async event loop implementation? As far as I know, "async def" is a shorthand for

@asyncio.coroutine
def

and "await" is short for "yield from".

Sincerely,
