Hi all I am trying to get to grips with asyncio, but I don't know if I am doing it right.
I have an app that listens for http connections and sends responses. I had it working with cherrypy, which uses threading. Now I am trying to convert it to asyncio, using a package called aiohttp. I got a basic version working quite quickly, just replacing cherrpy's request handler with aiohttp's, with a bit of tweaking where required. Now I want to use the functionality of asyncio by using a 'yield from' to suspend the currently executing function at a particular point while it waits for some information. I find that adding 'yield from' turns the function into a generator, which means that the caller has to iterate over it. I can avoid that by telling the caller to 'yield from' the generator, but then *its* caller has to be modified. Now I find I am going through my entire application and changing every function into a coroutine by decorating it with @asyncio.coroutine, and changing a simple function call to a 'yield from'. So far it is working, but there are dozens of functions to modify, so before digging too deep a hole for myself I would like to know if this feels like the right approach.
