# Combining coroutines running in an asyncio event loop with
# blocking tasks in thread pool and process pool executors.
#
# Based on https://pymotw.com/3/asyncio/executors.html, but this version runs both
# threads and processes at the same time and interleaves them with asyncio coroutines.
#
# All appears to be working.
