[Python-Dev] PEP 492: async/await in Python; version 5

Sorry to send you on such a wild goose chase! I did mean the issue you
found #21). I just updated it with a link to a thread that has more
news: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/python-tulip/tkinter/python-tulip/TaSVW-pjWro/hCP6qS4eRnAJ
I wasn't able to verify the version by Luciano Ramalho. (And yes, extending
all this to working with a subprocess is left as an exercise. It's all
pretty academic IMO, given Tkinter's lack of popularity outside IDLE.)
