Scheduling Calls

Explore how to schedule function calls within the asyncio event loop in Python. Understand the use of call_soon for immediate callbacks, call_later for delayed execution, and call_at to schedule tasks at specific future times. Gain practical knowledge of managing asynchronous tasks for better control of event-driven programs.

We'll cover the following...

You can also schedule calls to regular functions using the asyncio event loop. The first method we’ll look at is call_soon. The call_soon method will basically call your callback or event handler as soon as it can. It works as a FIFO queue, so if some of the callbacks take a while to run, then the others will be delayed until the previous ones have finished.

Implementation of call_soon()

Let’s look at an example: ...
