Thank you very much for making such a great contribution, @ronf. However, I do have a more general question related to asyncio and it is not specific to asyncssh. Using Python asyncio, I could easily set up five tasks and use asyncio.gather to create a new coroutine, and the single process single thread asynio will help me manage all the executions. If using Python threading, I could get future objects for each task and interactively check if the future is done or not. If it is taking too long, I can interactively kill the thread in the Python interactive interpreter. I feel using asyncio is less interactive and I could not control the task or the future just like how I controlled the similar correspondings using threading. Do you have any good suggestions? Thank you.
