Unit 4 – Python's asyncio Library

Python's asyncio Library

Duration: 5 minutes

Hello, tenacious developers! Are you ready to improve your Python skills? Today, we’ll look at Python’s async world, notably the asyncio library. This is the built-in Python library for building single-threaded concurrent programs with coroutines, multiplexing I/O access through sockets and other resources, operating network clients and servers, and other related primitives.Asynchronous programming is a sort of parallel programming in which a unit of work runs independently of the main application thread. This may appear complicated, but it is just about handling tasks concurrently without needing to wait for each one to finish before beginning the next. Coroutines and the async/await syntax introduced in Python 3. 5 are the primary components of the asyncio module. Here’s a simple example of asyncio asynchronous programming:

import asyncio
async def main():
print('Hello')
await asyncio. sleep(1)
print('World')
asyncio. run(main())

Exercise

Alright, now it’s your turn to play with Python’s asyncio:- Import the asyncio library.

  • Create a main function using the async keyword.
  • Inside the main function, print a statement, and use await asyncio. sleep(1), then print another statement.
  • Use asyncio. run() to execute the main function.

Conclusion

Congratulations, coding buddies! You’ve just delved into the world of asynchronous programming, taking your Python talents to the next level. Remember that programming is all about problem solving and ongoing education. Accept the trials and celebrate your victories. Continue exploring, learning, and coding!
