Concurrency programming is a programming approach that deals with the simultaneous execution of multiple tasks. In Python asyncio is a powerful tool for implementing asynchronous programming.
Asyncio can efficiently handle I/O-intensive tasks, improving program performance and concurrency.
Asyncio is based on coroutines and event loops. The event loop is responsible for scheduling and executing coroutines and handling the switching between coroutines.
Asyncio provides APIs for asynchronous I/O operations that can be seamlessly integrated with coroutines and the event loop through the await keyword.
Asyncio can concurrently execute multiple coroutine tasks. The event loop will automatically schedule the execution of coroutines according to the readiness of tasks, thus achieving efficient concurrent programming.
Compared to multithreading, asyncio has greater autonomous control and is more efficient for heavy I/O operation scenarios due to the smaller cost of task switching.
In many cases, using asyncio requires the support of specific third-party libraries, such as aiohttp for network requests.
To improve program running efficiency, we can also use libraries like concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor and multiprocessing for multi-process concurrency in Python.
