[Python-Dev] async/await PEP

Hi Yury, Hi List,

I do certainly like the idea of PEP 492, just some small comments:

why do we need two keywords? To me it is not necessarily intuitive
when to use async and when to use await (why is it async for and not
await for?), so wouldn't it be much simpler, and more symmetric, to
just have one keyword? I personally prefer await for that, then it is
"await def", and "await for" (and "await with", etc.).

Greetings

Martin
