Introduction to asyncio Module
Explore the asyncio module to understand how Python enables single-threaded asynchronous programming. You will learn about event loops, coroutines, futures, and tasks, gaining practical knowledge to handle concurrency efficiently using async/await syntax and event-driven code.
We'll cover the following...
The asyncio module was added to Python in version 3.4 as a
provisional package. What this means is it is possible that asyncio receives backwards incompatible changes or could even be removed in a future release of Python.
According to the documentation, “asyncio provides infrastructure for writing single-threaded concurrent code using coroutines, multiplexing I/O access over sockets and other resources, running network clients and servers, and other related primitives”.
This chapter is not meant to cover everything you can do
with asyncio, however you ...
