Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by reviewing the existing Boost.Python integration points for C++ and Python event-loop interaction; done would require a clearly defined supported approach or documented limitation and workaround for processing external events in an asyncio-based program.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Can I implement an async function in C++ that will await a Python coroutine? If it's not directly possible, is there any way around it? I have a stream of external events that I need to process in an asyncio-based Python program.
