Update asyncio from the Tulip project
 
Major changes:

- StreamReader.readexactly() now raises an IncompleteReadError if the
  end of stream is reached before we received enough bytes, instead of
  returning less bytes than requested.

- Unit tests use the main asyncio module instead of submodules like events

- _UnixWritePipeTransport now also supports character devices, as
  _UnixReadPipeTransport. Patch written by Jonathan Slenders.

- Export more symbols: BaseEventLoop, BaseProactorEventLoop,
  BaseSelectorEventLoop, Queue and Queue sublasses, Empty, Full

Data Types
**********

The modules described in this chapter provide a variety of specialized data
types such as dates and times, fixed-type arrays, heap queues, synchronized
queues, and sets.

Python also provides some built-in data types, in particular,
:class:`dict`, :class:`list`, :class:`set` and :class:`frozenset`, and
:class:`tuple`.  The :class:`str` class is used to hold
Unicode strings, and the :class:`bytes` class is used to hold binary data.

The following modules are documented in this chapter:


.. toctree::

   datetime.rst
   calendar.rst
   collections.rst
   collections.abc.rst
   heapq.rst
   bisect.rst
   array.rst
   weakref.rst
   types.rst
