This looks really promising. I've often wanted to be able to do exactly this: run a bunch of async code in the middle of an otherwise synchronous block (classic example: writing a Django view which fires off a bunch of parallel HTTP API requests and continues once all of them have either returned or timed out).

View on HN

That's almost exactly the use case I began with. It unapologetically requires python 3.5+ but if you're already there I'd be happy to see and support some of your use cases. Hit me up on github if you want to try it and need some guidance (the docs are nonexistent).

Could you please elaborate on why async would be preferred than a task queue solution (would it)?
