+
+Execution of Python coroutines can be suspended and resumed at many points
+(see :term:`coroutine`). In the body of a coroutine, any ``await`` and
+``async`` identifiers become reserved keywords; :keyword:`await` expressions,
+:keyword:`async for` and :keyword:`async with` can only be used in
+coroutine bodies.
+
+Functions defined with ``async def`` syntax are always coroutine functions,
+even if they do not contain ``await`` or ``async`` keywords.
+
+It is a :exc:`SyntaxError` to use :keyword:`yield` expressions in
+``async def`` coroutines.
+
+An example of a coroutine function::
+
+ async def func(param1, param2):
+ do_stuff()
+ await some_coroutine()

+.. _`async for`:
+
+The :keyword:`async for` statement
+----------------------------------

+ async_for_stmt: "async" `for_stmt`
+
+An :term:`asynchronous iterable` is able to call asynchronous code in its
+*iter* implementation, and :term:`asynchronous iterator` can call asynchronous
+code in its *next* method.
+
+The ``async for`` statement allows convenient iteration over asynchronous
+iterators.
+
+The following code::
+
+ async for TARGET in ITER:
+ BLOCK
+ else:
+ BLOCK2
+
+Is semantically equivalent to::
+
+ iter = (ITER)
+ iter = await type(iter).__aiter__(iter)
+ running = True
+ while running:
+ try:
+ TARGET = await type(iter).__anext__(iter)
+ except StopAsyncIteration:
+ running = False
+ else:
+ BLOCK
+ else:
+ BLOCK2
+
+See also :meth:`__aiter__` and :meth:`__anext__` for details.
+
+It is a :exc:`SyntaxError` to use ``async for`` statement outside of an
+:keyword:`async def` function.

+-----------------------------------

+
+An :term:`asynchronous context manager` is a :term:`context manager` that is
+able to suspend execution in its *enter* and *exit* methods.
+
+The following code::
+
+ async with EXPR as VAR:
+ BLOCK
+
+Is semantically equivalent to::
+
+ mgr = (EXPR)
+ aexit = type(mgr).__aexit__
+ aenter = type(mgr).__aenter__(mgr)
+ exc = True
+
+ VAR = await aenter
+ try:
+ BLOCK
+ except:
+ if not await aexit(mgr, *sys.exc_info()):
+ raise
+ else:
+ await aexit(mgr, None, None, None)
+
+See also :meth:`__aenter__` and :meth:`__aexit__` for details.
+
+It is a :exc:`SyntaxError` to use ``async with`` statement outside of an
+:keyword:`async def` function.
