+Awaitable Objects
+-----------------
+
+An *awaitable* object can be one of the following:
+
+* A :term:`coroutine` object returned from a :term:`coroutine function`.
+
+* A :term:`generator` decorated with :func:`types.coroutine`
+  (or :func:`asyncio.coroutine`) decorator.
+
+* An object that implements an ``__await__`` method.
+
+.. method:: object.__await__(self)
+
+   Must return an :term:`iterator`.  Should be used to implement
+   :term:`awaitable` objects.  For instance, :class:`asyncio.Future` implements
+   this method to be compatible with the :keyword:`await` expression.
+
+.. versionadded:: 3.5
+
+.. seealso:: :pep:`492` for additional information about awaitable objects.
+
+
+Asynchronous Iterators
+----------------------
+
+An *asynchronous iterable* is able to call asynchronous code in its
+``__aiter__`` implementation, and an *asynchronous iterator* can call
+asynchronous code in its ``__anext__`` method.
+
+Asynchronous iterators can be used in a :keyword:`async for` statement.
+
+.. method:: object.__aiter__(self)
+
+   Must return an *awaitable* resulting in an *asynchronous iterator* object.
+
+.. method:: object.__anext__(self)
+
+   Must return an *awaitable* resulting in a next value of the iterator.  Should
+   raise a :exc:`StopAsyncIteration` error when the iteration is over.
+
+An example of an asynchronous iterable object::
+
+    class Reader:
+        async def readline(self):
+            ...
+
+        async def __aiter__(self):
+            return self
+
+        async def __anext__(self):
+            val = await self.readline()
+            if val == b'':
+                raise StopAsyncIteration
+            return val

+
+Asynchronous Context Managers
+-----------------------------
+
+An *asynchronous context manager* is a *context manager* that is able to
+suspend execution in its ``__aenter__`` and ``__aexit__`` methods.
+
+Asynchronous context managers can be used in a :keyword:`async with` statement.
+
+.. method:: object.__aenter__(self)
+
+   This method is semantically similar to the :meth:`__enter__`, with only
+   difference that it must return an *awaitable*.
+
+.. method:: object.__aexit__(self, exc_type, exc_value, traceback)
+
+   This method is semantically similar to the :meth:`__exit__`, with only
+   difference that it must return an *awaitable*.
+
+An example of an asynchronous context manager class::
+
+    class AsyncContextManager:
+        async def __aenter__(self):
+            await log('entering context')
+
+        async def __aexit__(self, exc_type, exc, tb):
