The programming model for threads and asyncio coroutines is identical. The differences for the programmer are smallish details: * In asyncio, all functions that can potentially block must be tagged with "async" and all calls to such functions must be tagged with "await". * Not all blocking functions have an equivalent coroutine. All functions are readily available to threads. * Coroutines can be killed, threads cannot. * Coroutines can be multiplexed, threads cannot.
