I think that force the developer to 'yield from' all function calls to keep async capabilities is a big mistake, it should be more flexible, like this:
import asyncio
@asyncio.coroutine
fun non_blocking_io():
""" Everybody knows I'm doing non blocking IO """
...
fun foo():
""" I invoke functions that do IO stuff """
data = yield from non_blocking_io()
yield from store_data_db(data)
...
fun bar():
""" I don't know what foo implementation does """
foo()
asyncio.async(bar())
Does python 3.5 await/async solve this?
