Thanks. :)

I the ideal case it should be up to the runtime implementation (CPython, PyPy, Jython, IronPython etc.) how the asynchronous behaviour is implemented (greenlets, threads, roll-it-own, etc)

That's the way I see it as well. The Python language is extremely 
high-level. So, I guess in most cases, most people would just use the 
default implementation.
