## AI interpretation — verify before relying

Provides Python 3.8–3.10 with asyncio.Runner, a context manager that simplifies running multiple async functions in the same event loop context, matching Python 3.11's standard library implementation.

Verdict: A stable, dependency-free backport of Python 3.11's asyncio.Runner for older Python versions, with no known vulnerabilities. The aging maintenance status (407 days since release) is expected for a reference implementation backport; the package remains production-ready for its narrow, well-defined scope.
