"asyncio" --- Asynchronous I/O ****************************** ====================================================================== Hello World! ^^^^^^^^^^^^ import asyncio async def main(): print('Hello ...') await asyncio.sleep(1) print('... World!') # Python 3.7+ asyncio.run(main()) asyncio is a library to write **concurrent** code using the **async/await** syntax. asyncio is used as a foundation for multiple Python asynchronous frameworks that provide high-performance network and web-servers, database connection libraries, distributed task queues, etc. asyncio is often a perfect fit for IO-bound and high-level **structured** network code. asyncio provides a set of **high-level** APIs to: * run Python coroutines concurrently and have full control over their execution; * perform network IO and IPC; * control subprocesses; * distribute tasks via queues; * synchronize concurrent code; Additionally, there are **low-level** APIs for *library and framework developers* to: * create and manage event loops, which provide asynchronous APIs for "networking", running "subprocesses", handling "OS signals", etc; * implement efficient protocols using transports; * bridge callback-based libraries and code with async/await syntax. -[ Reference ]- High-level APIs * Coroutines and Tasks * Streams * Synchronization Primitives * Subprocesses * Queues * Exceptions Low-level APIs * Event Loop * Futures * Transports and Protocols * Policies * Platform Support Guides and Tutorials * High-level API Index * Low-level API Index * Developing with asyncio Note: The source code for asyncio can be found in Lib/asyncio/.
