+Asyncio REPL and top level await
+********************************
+
+In order to get top-level ``await`` support, start ptpython as follows:
+
+.. code::
+
+   ptpython --asyncio
+
+This will spawn an asyncio event loop and embed the async REPL in the event
+loop. After this, top-level await will work and statements like ``await
+asyncio.sleep(10)`` will execute.
