Python Async Patterns
A guide to writing concurrent, non-blocking Python code using asyncio's coroutines, tasks, and event loop.
Usage
Ask about asyncio patterns, concurrent execution, async libraries, or event loop management.
Examples
- "Run multiple HTTP requests concurrently with asyncio"
- "How do I limit concurrency with asyncio.Semaphore?"
- "Create an async generator for streaming data"
Guidelines
- Use asyncio.gather for concurrent execution of multiple coroutines
- Use asyncio.Semaphore to limit concurrent operations
- Prefer async libraries (httpx, aiofiles) over sync alternatives
- Never call sync blocking code directly in async functions
- Use asyncio.to_thread for running sync code in async context
