The programming model for threads and asyncio coroutines is identical.
The differences for the programmer are smallish details:

 * In asyncio, all functions that can potentially block must be tagged
   with "async" and all calls to such functions must be tagged with
   "await".

 * Not all blocking functions have an equivalent coroutine. All
   functions are readily available to threads.

 * Coroutines can be killed, threads cannot.

 * Coroutines can be multiplexed, threads cannot.
