"asyncio" --- Asynchronous I/O
******************************

======================================================================


Hello World!
^^^^^^^^^^^^

   import asyncio

   async def main():
       print('Hello ...')
       await asyncio.sleep(1)
       print('... World!')

   asyncio.run(main())

asyncio is a library to write **concurrent** code using the
**async/await** syntax.

asyncio is used as a foundation for multiple Python asynchronous
frameworks that provide high-performance network and web-servers,
database connection libraries, distributed task queues, etc.

asyncio is often a perfect fit for IO-bound and high-level
**structured** network code.

asyncio provides a set of **high-level** APIs to:

* run Python coroutines concurrently and have full control over their
  execution;

* perform network IO and IPC;

* control subprocesses;

* distribute tasks via queues;

* synchronize concurrent code;

Additionally, there are **low-level** APIs for *library and framework
developers* to:

* create and manage event loops, which provide asynchronous APIs for
  networking, running subprocesses, handling OS signals, etc;

* implement efficient protocols using transports;

* bridge callback-based libraries and code with async/await syntax.

Availability: not Emscripten, not WASI.

This module does not work or is not available on WebAssembly platforms
"wasm32-emscripten" and "wasm32-wasi". See WebAssembly platforms for
more information.

-[ asyncio REPL ]-

You can experiment with an "asyncio" concurrent context in the REPL:

   $ python -m asyncio
   asyncio REPL ...
   Use "await" directly instead of "asyncio.run()".
   Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
   >>> import asyncio
   >>> await asyncio.sleep(10, result='hello')
   'hello'

Raises an auditing event "cpython.run_stdin" with no arguments.

Changed in version 3.12.5: (also 3.11.10, 3.10.15, 3.9.20, and 3.8.20)
Emits audit events.
