AnyIO is an asynchronous networking and concurrency library that works on top of either asyncio or
trio. It implements trio-like structured concurrency_ (SC) on top of asyncio and works in harmony
with the native SC of trio itself.
Applications and libraries written against AnyIO's API will run unmodified on either asyncio or trio. AnyIO can also be adopted into a library or application incrementally – bit by bit, no full refactoring necessary. It will blend in with the native libraries of your chosen backend.

AnyIO offers the following functionality:
Task groups (nurseries_ in trio terminology)
High-level networking (TCP, UDP and UNIX sockets)
Happy eyeballs_ algorithm for TCP connections (more robust than that of asyncio on Python
3.8)A versatile API for byte streams and object streams
Inter-task synchronization and communication (locks, conditions, events, semaphores, object streams)
Worker threads
Subprocesses
Asynchronous file I/O (using worker threads)
Signal handling
AnyIO also comes with its own pytest plugin which also supports asynchronous fixtures. It even works with the popular Hypothesis library.
