The 'Trollius' module backported asyncio to Python 2, requiring syntax changes, though. For example "yield from" to "yield From()".

Work on Trollius was stopped a few weeks ago, there wasn't enough interest/use. Call for interested maintainers, http://trollius.readthedocs.io/deprecated.html#deprecated

The problem with Trollius was that packages that asyncio packages needed explicitly to add support for it to work (because Python 2 does not have yield from) Several packages (I remember aiohttp was one of them) did not want to do that.
