Why, but why, async and await keywords have been included in Python 3.5
FOSDEM 2016

With some real world examples, I'll explain the interest of async pattern and give some clues when it's interesting to use.

Moreover, I'll demonstrate why the inclusion of async/await+AsyncIO in the core of Python is a smart move, from a technical and political point of view. Finally, I'll present some libraries in the AsyncIO toolbox.
