Hi,

Do you have a timeline as to when you expect that support for async python applications will be available?

Thank you!

Hey Steven

sorry for dropping the ball on your question. We are working on adding support for asyncio, there is an open PR ([https://github.com/elastic/apm-agent-python/pull/252](https://github.com/elastic/apm-agent-python/pull/252)). Unfortunately, we had to de-prioritize work on it a bit over the last few months, but I hope to pick up work on it soon again.

Cheers  
Beni
