Python and Async Programming

Explore the intricacies of asynchronous programming in Python through this insightful EuroPython 2016 conference talk. Delve into the evolution of async programming techniques across different Python versions, focusing on best practices for Python 3.4 and 3.5. Learn about Futures, yield from, asyncio, coroutines, async and await keywords, and event loops. Examine various async programming scenarios, including CPU-bound, IO-bound, and "both-bound" problems, with practical examples such as building simple servers, web scraping, and graph traversal. Compare Python's approach to async programming with other languages like JavaScript and Go. Gain a comprehensive understanding of event loops, async syntax, concurrency, and proper cleanup techniques to enhance your Python programming skills.
