Having gone through the PEP again, I am still no closer to understanding what happens here: data = await reader.read(8192) What does the flow of control look like at the interpreter level? Are you sure you really want to know? For the sake of sanity, I recommend ignoring the actual control flow and pretending that it's just like data = reader.read(8192) with the reader.read() method somehow able to be magically suspended.

Well, if I don't know, I get confused as to where I invoke the event loop, how my non-async code runs alongside this etc. Paul
