Introduction to Async Programming in Python

Async programming allows you to write code that can handle asynchronous tasks efficiently. In Python, the asyncio library provides coroutines, event loops, and tasks that enable concurrent execution without blocking. This article covers the basics of defining async functions with async def, awaiting coroutine results with await, and using the event loop to run asynchronous code. Practical examples illustrate making HTTP requests, performing I/O, and coordinating multiple tasks.
