Sorry if this double posted but I got a bounce from python-ideas@googlegroups.com the first time that I sent it. I resent to python-ideas@python.org.

Why not just use pytest?
I could use pytest or Martin Richard's asynctest[1]. I want the ability to test asynchronous code without pulling in a 3rd party library. I noticed that a number of the libraries in https://github.com/aio-libs/ have their own custom-rolled test support in addition to those that use pytest.
Now that the async/await syntax has landed, the Standard Library should provide the ability to test event loop driven code. This will remove at least on barrier to entry for async/await based code -- you can simply test it using unittest.
- cheers, dave.
