Summary
Asyncio is the standard library to manage cooperative concurrent and asynchronous tasks in Python. It requires that the tasks are awaitable objects (coroutines, futures, or objects that implement the __await__ method). The basic requirement is that the tasks you want to run in asyncio's event loop are non-blocking. If you need it to execute a blocking operation, you have to use Python's multithreading capabilities. To use asyncio, you have to include the async/await keywords to create coroutines or implement the Awaitable interface and understand the consequences of their interaction. For the most part, you will be able to use asyncio’s capabilities without having to manipulate tasks or the event loop directly, but if you need to, you can access low-level APIs to do so. There are alternative ways to implement highly performant concurrent tasks using asyncio libraries, including uvloop, aiofiles, and aiohttp. Otherwise, there is an alternative way to implement...
