This will work in Python 3.4, unlike async/await which is 3.5+ (contributed by hawkowl, reviews by markrwilliams, lukasa).</div><div class="">- The new asyncio interop reactor, which allows Twisted to run on top of the asyncio event loop.

(contributed by hawkowl, reviews by glyph, markrwilliams)</div><div class="">- twisted.python.constants has been split out into constantly on PyPI, and likewise with twisted.python.versions going into the PyPI package incremental. Twisted now uses these external packages, which will be shared with other projects (like Klein).
