For example: https://docs.python.org/dev/library/asyncio-task.html It seems ensure_future would be a much better way to demonstrate the advantages of non-blocking functions. run_until_complete on the other hand, blocks the loop like synchronous functions do. This makes me feel like I should be using run_until_complete instead of a combination of ensure_futurewith loop.run_forever() to run multiple co-routines concurrently. Continue reading...
