  Description     : asyncio event loop scheduling callbacks in eventlet

 aioeventlet implements the asyncio API (PEP 3156) on top of eventlet. It makes
 possible to write asyncio code in a project currently written for eventlet.
 .
 aioeventlet allows to use greenthreads in asyncio coroutines, and to use
 asyncio coroutines, tasks and futures in greenthreads: see link_future() and
 wrap_greenthread() functions.
 .
 The main visible difference between aioeventlet and trollius is the behaviour
 of run_forever(): run_forever() blocks with trollius, whereas it runs in a
 greenthread with aioeventlet. It means that aioeventlet event loop can run in
 an greenthread while the Python main thread runs other greenthreads in
 parallel.
