examples/payment_async.py
"""
The effect of this example is the same as `payment.py`, but this example is asynchronous.
Create, sign, and submit a transaction using Python Stellar SDK.
Assumes that you have the following items:
1. Secret key of a funded account to be the source account
2. Public key of an existing account as a recipient
These two keys can be created and funded by the friendbot at
https://www.stellar.org/laboratory/ under the heading "Quick Start: Test Account"
3. Access to Python Stellar SDK (https://github.com/StellarCN/py-stellar-base) through Python shell.
See: https://developers.stellar.org/docs/start/list-of-operations/#payment
