This does seem to mean that it can be difficult to provide a __await__ method that works with different coroutine runners, though. For example, Tornado Futures implement __await__ for compatibility with the asyncio event loop. But what if Tornado wants to make its Future class compatible with an event loop that requires a different __await__ convention?
