Is it possible to actually make async rest calls?

I need to make some async rest calls in a way that works in 2.7 and 3.x. I've seen some suggestions for grequests, but the documentation is pretty lacking. My default code looks like this:

import requests

for i in range(1, 10):        
    x = requests.post('some_endpoint', data={"a":i})

Works fine but isn't async. I tried using grequests, but the only usage i've found looks like this:

import grequests

for i in range(1, 10):
    x = grequests.post('some_endpoint', data={"a":i})
    grequests.map([x])

and this works, but its not acting async.

Am I doing something wrong, or does grequests not behave the way I was assuming? Is there some other library I can use that will work in 2.7 and 3.x?

You need to send all your requests at once using grequests.map as it won't return until all the requests are complete.

import grequests

req = []
for i in range(1, 10):
    req.append(grequests.get('https://www.google.com'))

grequests.map(req)
for r in req:
    print r.response
