Description:  asyncoro
        ##########
        
        asyncoro is a Python framework for concurrent, distributed,
        asynchronous network programming.
        
        Unlike with other asynchronous frameworks, programs developed with
        asyncoro have **same logic and structure** as programs with threads,
        except for a few syntactic changes - mostly using *yield* with
        asynchronous completions that give control to asyncoro's scheduler,
        which interleaves executions of coroutines, similar to the way an
        operating system executes multiple processes. In addition, asyncoro
        has many additional features, including message passing for
        communication, distributed computing/programming etc.
        
        Unlike threads, creating processes (coroutines) with asyncoro is very
        efficient. Moreover, with asyncoro context switch occurs only when
        coroutines use *yield* (typically with an asychronous call), so there
        is no need for locking and there is no overhead of unnecessary context
        switches.
        
        asyncoro works with Python versions 2.7+ and 3.1+. It has been tested
        with Linux, Mac OS X and Windows; it may work on other platforms, too.
        
        Features
        --------
        
        * No callbacks or event loops! No need to lock critical sections either,
        
        * Efficient polling mechanisms epoll, kqueue, /dev/poll, Windows
          I/O Completion Ports (IOCP) for high performance and
          scalability,
        
        * Asynchronous (non-blocking) sockets and pipes, for concurrent
          processing of I/O,
        
        * SSL for security,
        
        * Asynchronous timers, including non-blocking sleep,
        
        * Asynchronous locking primitives similar to Python threading module,
        
        * `Message passing <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_passing>`_
          for (local and remote) coroutines to exchange messages one-to-one
          with `Message Queue Pattern
          <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_queue>`_ or through
          broadcasting channels with `Publish-Subscribe Pattern
          <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publish/subscribe>`_,
        
        * `Location transparency
          <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Location_transparency>`_ with naming
          and locating (local and remote) resources,
        
        * Monitoring and restarting of (local or remote) coroutines, for
          fault detection and fault-tolerance,
        
        * Distributing computation components (code and data) for execution of
          distributed communicating processes,
        
        * Hot-swapping of coroutine functions, for dynamic system
          reconfiguration,
        
        * Thread pools with asynchronous task completions, for executing
          (external) synchronous tasks, e.g., reading standard input.
        
        Installation
        ------------
        To install asyncoro for Python 2.7+, run::
        
           pip install asyncoro
        
        or to install asyncoro for Python 3.1+, run::
        
           pip3 install asyncoro
        
        Dependencies
        ------------
        
        asyncoro is implemented with standard modules in Python. Under Windows
        efficient polling notifier I/O Completion Ports (IOCP) is supported
        only if `pywin32
        <http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/>`_ is
        installed; otherwise, inefficient *select* notifier is used.
