That's easy. You can always use costart() to adapt a cofunction for use with something expecting a generator-based coroutine, e.g.

codef my_task_func(arg): ...

my_task = Task(costart(my_task_func, arg))

If you're willing to make changes, Task() et al could be made to recognise cofunctions and apply costart() where needed.
