While async / await, futures, and the event loop are generic mechanisms, the asyncio module itself only implement selectors for sockets (ok, and subprocess pipes). You can't even do async file system operations with it: you need to call run_in_executor().

Now that doesn't mean you could not implement a selector that does asynchronous UI IO and plug it to the event loop. But the asyncio module doesn't provide it right now, and no lib that I know of does it either.
