In today's video, I'll be talking to you about asynchronous programming in python. This Python Async tutorial will cover the 'async' and 'await' keyword, coroutines, futures and tasks, and some basic features from the asyncio module in Python. This video is for intermediate programmers, and it's recommended you have Python 3.7 or above.

A quick story. I started programming 4 years ago at Tim was the first instructor in this vast sea of programming. When I learned the basic I kinda move on and start my own journey. Today in my work I need to use asynchronous programming and of course I knew the place to learn. Tim you are amazing, thank you so much for the knowledge you have given us!

It would be great to learn about the differences between acyncio, multiprocessing and threading

@JoshelinRico 3 жыл бұрын

asyncio and threading are almost identical, but threading is more intuitive. They are mainly used for I/O bound tasks. Mulltiprocessing is very different. It bypasses the GIL (look it up if you don't know what it is). It is mainly used to improve performance with parallel programming.

@sleepymarauder4178 3 жыл бұрын

Both asyncio and threading are concurrent. Threading is being handled by the OS and AsyncIO is being handled within python ( the async event loop ). Threads can execute small operations to speeds things up ( e.g. adding more robots to handle the work, difficult to oversee and manage when program grows big. Also race conditions where: comes out weird the outcome ) asyncio is done by using an event loop where task are being awaited ( e.g. non-blocking! tasks that are fired up and deliver some result while the program is doing other things ) At the end of the event loop ( yes it is a loop, all the results are gathered from the loop and it starts over again ) If tasks are blocking, asyncio isn't the right tool at all. Luckily you can also "throw" blocking tasks into a different executor so that they dont slow down your async stuff. Multiprocessing is using multiple processes to do the grunt work. It kind of bypasses the GIL by having more processes with another GIL. Drawback can be copied memory and such. Basically every technique has an advantage and a drawback. I do like asyncio because it is a simple solution to a complex problem. The thing is that when using an Executor you can test different scenario's within Python because you can swap out multiprocessing, threading and asyncio easily. Test and see what does what.

Threading and multiprocessing are preemptive, coroutines are not. Coroutines and threading are default-share-everything, multiprocessing is default-share-nothing. Coroutines are easier to debug than threads.

@@samgallon1273 very primitive builtins are usually a terrible example for this if you're trying to learn python since they're almost always implemented in C, not Python. This is part of the reason why it's hard to re-implement basic python functions faster than the default implementations--theyre usually implemented in C at the very basic level of the CPython interpreter. On top of that they're usually also very well implemented to be optimized for their particular use case(s), but the mere fact that they don't really do much in Python is a huge advantage.

I'm about a month into learning Python. That was a great explanation and gives me a foundation to dig deeper. It shows me how I can have multiple things happening at the same time, and the concept of futures really is exciting; in that I can see how the idea in my mind can actually be built.

I learned asynchronous programming on hard mode, means that when I started my first asyncio project (discord bot) I knew nothing about it, and barely a beginner in programming world and python In general i struggled days even for simple stuff, though this made me really learn not just scrolling through videos and remember nothing after over one year of working at my project ( which is alive even now, because I'm always performing maintenance checks on my bot) I still feel like I have a lot to learn even if I'm able to write a generous amount of code without "cheating" (searching for answers or something) Great video for people who want to dive more deeper about asynchronous code

12:58 There is a chance that could fail. asyncio only holds weak references to the tasks it creates; it relies on the caller (you) to maintain strong references, to stop those tasks from disappearing randomly. Here it executes after the “task” variable holding the reference has gone.

do understand that python i/o functions are not async by default, so things like open() and time.sleep() and many many many others don't play well with async/await, as they block the entire event loop. the idea is the same between dart and python, but you'll have to use asyncio-specific async functions instead of the builtin python ones. keep that in mind :)
