import asyncio

@asyncio.coroutine
def wget(host):
    print('wget %s...' % host)
    connect = asyncio.open_connection(host, 80)
    reader, writer = yield from connect
    header = 'GET / HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: %s\r\n\r\n' % host
    writer.write(header.encode('utf-8'))
    yield from writer.drain()
    while True:
        line = yield from reader.readline()
        if line == b'\r\n':
            break
        print('%s header > %s' % (host, line.decode('utf-8').rstrip()))
    # Ignore the body, close the socket
    writer.close()

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
tasks = [wget(host) for host in ['www.sina.com.cn', 'www.sohu.com', 'www.163.com']]
loop.run_until_complete(asyncio.wait(tasks))
loop.close()

执行结果如下：

wget www.sohu.com...
wget www.sina.com.cn...
wget www.163.com...
(等待一段时间)
(打印出sohu的header)
www.sohu.com header > HTTP/1.1 200 OK
www.sohu.com header > Content-Type: text/html
...
(打印出sina的header)
www.sina.com.cn header > HTTP/1.1 200 OK
www.sina.com.cn header > Date: Wed, 20 May 2015 04:56:33 GMT
...
(打印出163的header)
www.163.com header > HTTP/1.0 302 Moved Temporarily
www.163.com header > Server: Cdn Cache Server V2.0
...

如果不使用异步IO而改用函数调用，那么该程序执行时间将会是三倍的(等待一段时间)
