I like it quite a bit, especially for this sort of task. It's similar
to zc.ngi in some ways, so feels pretty familiar to me.

One of my goals with zc.ngi was to make it easy to test networking
code without actually using sockets and without resorting to threads
or processes. ayncio makes this possible, but sadly doesn't include
this sort of testing support.  It was easy to make something for use
with ZEO. I may contribute something back, as I think testing support
is hugely important, but asyncio is rather large, so it's hard to
contribute something with much reach.

Somewhat surprising to me, I find I've actually moved beyond Python 2,
thanks to my current employer, which is Python 3 only.

(Speaking of which, to my US friends, especially in the DC area,
Aledade is a great company that's making real contributions to
improving healthcare in the US and is looking for developers.)

Except I'd like to move ZEO forward in other ways at the same time (a
I described earlier).
