Async actor model for Python

What should a Actor do?

• Creating the Actor instance as child
• Handling received message
• Managing lifecycles of Actor
• Providing scheduling and concurrency

Actors do not share state (i.e. memory), but they may maintain their own internal state.

Messages are sent to an Actor through one of the following methods.

! means “fire-and-forget”, e.g. send a message asynchronously and return immediately. Also known as tell.
? sends a message asynchronously and returns a Future representing a possible reply. Also known as ask.

Message ordering is guaranteed on a per-sender basis.
