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.).
Based on my understanding, you use async for blocks that can use await, and await to wait on an asynchronous action, such as calling an async function.
