Using asyncio in python: understanding python's asynchronous programming features, caleb h...

If you’re among the Python developers put off by asyncio’s complexity, it’s time to take another look. Asyncio is complicated because it aims to solve problems in concurrent network programming for both framework and end-user developers. The features you need to consider are a small subset of the whole asyncio API, but picking out the right features is the tricky part. That’s where this practical book comes in. \n \nVeteran Python developer Caleb Hattingh helps you gain a basic understanding of asyncio’s building blocks―enough to get started writing simple event-based programs. You’ll learn why asyncio offers a safer alternative to preemptive multitasking (threading) and how this API provide...
