Before Python 3.5+ was released, the asyncio module used generators to mimic asynchronous calls and thus had a different syntax than the current Python 3.5 release. Python 3.x3.5 Python 3.5 introduced the async and await keywords. Note the lack of parentheses around the await func() call. import ...

Note: Uses the Python 3.5+ async/await syntax asyncio supports the use of Executor objects found in concurrent.futures for scheduling tasks asynchronously. Event loops have the function run_in_executor() which takes an Executor object, a Callable, and the Callable's parameters. Scheduling a task f...

uvloop is an implementation for the asyncio.AbstractEventLoop based on libuv (Used by nodejs). It is compliant with 99% of asyncio features and is much faster than the traditional asyncio.EventLoop. uvloop is currently not available on Windows, install it with pip install uvloop. import asyncio i...

Concept Use an Event to synchronize the scheduling of multiple coroutines. Put simply, an event is like the gun shot at a running race: it lets the runners off the starting blocks. Example import asyncio # event trigger function def trigger(event): print('EVENT SET') event.set() #...

Here we make a simple echo websocket using asyncio. We define coroutines for connecting to a server and sending/receiving messages. The communcations of the websocket are run in a main coroutine, which is run by an event loop. This example is modified from a prior post. import asyncio import ai...

probably the most common misconception about asnycio is that it lets you run any task in parallel - sidestepping the GIL (global interpreter lock) and therefore execute blocking jobs in parallel (on separate threads). it does not! asyncio (and libraries that are built to collaborate with asyncio) b...
