AsyncIO in Python

AsyncIO is a library to write concurrent code using the async/await syntax. It allows you to manage asynchronous tasks and I/O operations in Python.

Basics of AsyncIO

AsyncIO provides an event loop, coroutines, and tasks:

  • Event loop: The core of every asyncio application. It runs asynchronous tasks and callbacks.
  • Coroutines: Special functions defined with async def. They use await to pause their execution and wait for other coroutines.
  • Tasks: Used to schedule coroutines to run concurrently in the event loop.
Creating a Simple Coroutine

import asyncio

# Define a coroutine
async def say_hello():
    print("Hello")
    await asyncio.sleep(1)
    print("World")

# Create an event loop and run the coroutine
asyncio.run(say_hello())
Running Multiple Coroutines

import asyncio

async def task1():
    await asyncio.sleep(1)
    print('Task 1 complete')

async def task2():
    await asyncio.sleep(2)
    print('Task 2 complete')

async def main():
    await asyncio.gather(task1(), task2())

asyncio.run(main())
Handling Timeouts

import asyncio

async def long_running_task():
    await asyncio.sleep(5)
    print("Task complete")

async def main():
    try:
        await asyncio.wait_for(long_running_task(), 3)
    except asyncio.TimeoutError:
        print("Task timed out")

asyncio.run(main())
Creating and Using Tasks

import asyncio

async def task1():
    await asyncio.sleep(1)
    print('Task 1 complete')

async def task2():
    await asyncio.sleep(2)
    print('Task 2 complete')

async def main():
    t1 = asyncio.create_task(task1())
    t2 = asyncio.create_task(task2())
    
    await t1
    await t2

asyncio.run(main())
Async Context Managers

import asyncio

class AsyncContextManager:
    async def __aenter__(self):
        print("Entering context")
        return self

    async def __aexit__(self, exc_type, exc, tb):
        print("Exiting context")

async def main():
    async with AsyncContextManager():
        print("Inside context")

asyncio.run(main())

Introduction to OOPs in Python

  Learning Sections          show Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm that organizes software design around objects rather than actions and data rather than logic. It revolves around the concept of "objects", which are instances of classes. These objects encapsulate data, in the form of attributes or properties, and behaviors, in the form of methods or functions. OOP promotes modularity, reusability, and extensibility in software development. Key Concepts of OOP: Class: A class is a blueprint or template for creating objects. It defines the attributes (data) and methods (functions) that will characterize any object instantiated from that class. Object: An object is an instance of a class. It is a concrete realization of the class blueprint, containing actual values instead of placeholders for attributes. Encapsulation: Encapsulation is ...

Classes and Objects in Python

  Learning Sections          show Classes and Objects in Python In Python, a class is a blueprint for creating objects. An object is an instance of a class. Classes allow you to logically group data and functions in a way that is easy to manage and reuse. 1. Defining a Class To define a class in Python, you use the class keyword followed by the class name and a colon. Inside the class, you can define attributes and methods. Example: # Define a class class Person : # Class attribute species = 'Human' # Class method def greet ( self ): return 'Hello, I am a person.' # Create an object of the class person1 = Person () # Access class attribute print ( person1 . species ) # Output: Human # Call class method print ( person1 . greet ()) # Output: Hello, I am a person. 2. Creating Objects To create an object of a class, you simply call the class name followed by paren...

Exception Handling in Python

  Learning sections          show Exception Handling in Python Exception handling in Python is done through the use of try , except , else , and finally blocks. This allows you to catch and handle errors gracefully. Below are some examples and explanations: 1. Basic Try-Except The try block lets you test a block of code for errors. The except block lets you handle the error. # Example of basic try-except try : result = 10 / 0 except ZeroDivisionError : print ( "Cannot divide by zero!" ) # Output: # Cannot divide by zero! 2. Handling Multiple Exceptions You can catch multiple exceptions by specifying multiple except blocks. # Example of handling multiple exceptions try : result = 10 / 0 except ZeroDivisionError : print ( "Cannot divide by zero!" ) except TypeError : print ( "Invalid operation!" ) # Output: # Cannot divide by zero! 3. Using Else The e...
