Yield from coroutine vs yield from task

Question

Guido van Rossum, in his speech in 2014 on Tulip/Asyncio shows the slide:

Tasks vs coroutines

• Compare:

Answer 1

For the calling side co-routine yield from coroutine() feels like a function call (i.e. it will again gain control when coroutine() finishes).

yield from Task(coroutine()) on the other hand feels more like creating a new thread. Task() returns almost instantly and very likely the caller gains control back before the coroutine() finishes.

The difference between f() and th = threading.Thread(target=f, args=()); th.start(); th.join() is obvious, right?
