asyncio — Asynchronous I/O


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:

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

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.

3.9.20 sürümünde değişti: (also 3.8.20) Emits audit events.
