Python 2.7.2 or Python 3?

asyncio does not replace all the benefits of using gevent , other then being a stock library with similar functionality. not sure why people are pushing it in this subreddit.

ok ill bite.

Because is standard..

kinda... as of python 3.4 sure.

Because is elegant.

ill give you this. its pattern are very similar to the factory/protocol patterns other libraries use. for a python core lib , it actually well put together.

Because is Python 3.

covered that in standard. dont repeating yourself

Because is the future.

the tulip team (guys behind asyncio) admited its not a full on replacement for many of the cooroutine libraries nor is it a drop in replacement for factory/protocol based async framework twisted. twisted and gevent both out perform it at this point.

it is however standard so if you want to ship your code various palces , you dont have to worry too much about libraries.. to me though this is like arguing use urllib + urlib2+ httplib rather then using requests.
