I think that force the developer to 'yield from' all function calls to keep async capabilities is a big mistake, it should be more flexible, like this:

import asyncio

@asyncio.coroutine
fun non_blocking_io():
    """ Everybody knows I'm doing non blocking IO """
    ...

fun foo():
    """ I invoke functions that do IO stuff """
    data = yield from non_blocking_io()
    yield from store_data_db(data)
    ...

fun bar():
    """ I don't know what foo implementation does """
    foo()

asyncio.async(bar())


Does python 3.5 await/async solve this?
