| 10 | Introduction |
| 11 | ------------ |
| 12 | |
| 13 | This package includes a pluggable event loop, transport and protocol |
| 14 | abstractions similar to those in Twisted, and a higher-level scheduler |
| 15 | for coroutines and tasks based on ``yield from`` (:PEP:`380`). |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Full documentation is not yet ready; we hope to have it written |
| 18 | before Python 3.4 leaves beta. Until then, the best reference is |
| 19 | :PEP:`3156`. For a motivational primer on transports and protocols, |
| 20 | see :PEP:`3153`. |
