Tasks and coroutines in python 3.5

The following code demonstrates the using of python 3.5  coroutines in order to implement async IO

import asyncio
from threading import Thread, current_thread
import datetime
print (current_thread())
async def compute(x, y):
    print("Compute %s + %s ... Current thread:%s" % (x, y , current_thread() ))
  
    await asyncio.sleep(1.0)
    return x + y
async def print_sum(x, y):
    print (current_thread())
    result = await compute(x, y)
    print("%s + %s = %s" % (x, y, result))
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
theTask1 = loop.create_task(print_sum(1, 2))
theTask2 = loop.create_task(print_sum(4, 2))
theTask3 = loop.create_task(print_sum(14, 2))
tasks = [theTask1,theTask2,theTask3]
loop.run_until_complete(asyncio.wait(tasks))
loop.close()

And the result:
<_MainThread(MainThread, started 1696)>
<_MainThread(MainThread, started 1696)>
Compute 1 + 2 ... Current thread:<_MainThread(MainThread, started 1696)>
<_MainThread(MainThread, started 1696)>
Compute 4 + 2 ... Current thread:<_MainThread(MainThread, started 1696)>
<_MainThread(MainThread, started 1696)>
Compute 14 + 2 ... Current thread:<_MainThread(MainThread, started 1696)>
1 + 2 = 3
4 + 2 = 6
14 + 2 = 16
