gevent - Asynchronous I/O Made Easy

EuroPython Conference via YouTube

Overview

Explore asynchronous I/O programming with gevent in this EuroPython 2014 conference talk. Learn how gevent provides highly scalable asynchronous I/O without relying on complex callback structures or requiring significant code changes. Discover the advantages of gevent's synchronous programming model, which uses coroutines and monkey patching to make both your code and pure Python libraries asynchronous. Understand the differences between gevent and other asynchronous frameworks like Twisted, Tornado, and Tulip/asyncio. Dive into gevent's programming model, examine simple code samples, and gain insights into practical experiences of using gevent. Cover topics such as coroutines, generators, yield statements, and monkey patching. Explore gevent's features and learn how it simplifies error handling in I/O operations. Conclude with a discussion on multiprocessing and a Q&A session to address specific implementation questions.
