+"""
+This file was created so we could have a process_request_async method on our
+SentryFalconMiddleware class, so we could properly support ASGI with Falcon.
+However, since process_request_async needs to be an async function, we cannot
+define it in Python 2.7, as this produces a syntax error.
+
+So, we have split the process_request_async implementation into this separate
+file, which can only be loaded in Python 3 and above.
+
+TODO: If we ever remove Python 2.7 support, we should delete this file and move
+the process_request_async implementation to the SentryFalconMiddleware class
+in the falcon.py file.
