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 Python Programming

  Learning Sections      show History of Python Python was created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991. He wanted to create a language that was easy to read and simple to use. The name "Python" comes from the British comedy series "Monty Python's Flying Circus". Key Features of Python Readability: Python's syntax is clear and easy to read. Ease of Learning: Python is straightforward, making it great for beginners. High-Level Language: Python handles much of the complexity of the computer’s operations. Interpreted Language: Python runs code line-by-line, which makes debugging easier. Dynamically Typed: You don’t need to declare variable types. Extensive Standard Library: Python has many built-in modules for various tasks. Portability: ...

Comment, escape sequence and print statement in Python

Learning Sections      show 1. Comments in Python Comments are notes in the code that the Python interpreter ignores. They are used to explain and document the code, making it easier to understand and maintain. Single-line comments: Begin with the # symbol. Multi-line comments: Typically use triple quotes ''' or """ . # Single-line comment print ( "Hello, World!" ) # This comment is on the same line as the code """ Multi-line comment: This spans multiple lines. The Python interpreter will ignore these lines. """ print ( "Multi-line comments are often used for documentation." ) 2. Escape Sequences in Python Escape sequences are used to insert special characters into strings that are otherwise difficult to include directly. An escape sequence begins with a backslash ( \ ) followed by one or more characters. # Using escape s...
