Summary#

Python's async/await syntax allows for writing concurrent code that is non-blocking, enabling efficient handling of I/O-bound tasks without resorting to traditional multi-threading.

Key points#

• Non-blocking I/O: Async code does not mean parallel code. It means that when one task waits for an external operation (like a network request or database query), it yields control back to the event loop, allowing other tasks to run instead of blocking the entire thread.
• asyncio.gather: Used to run multiple awaitables concurrently and wait for all of them to complete. It is the primary tool for parallelizing independent tasks.
• asyncio.TaskGroup (Python 3.11+): The modern, safer way to manage groups of concurrent tasks. It automatically handles task cleanup and exception propagation, making it superior to older methods like asyncio.gather when managing complex groups.
• Pitfalls: Never use blocking calls (like time.sleep() or synchronous database drivers) directly within an async function, as this will block the entire event loop, negating the benefits of asynchronous programming.

• note: Python 3.11+ TaskGroup 권장과 asyncio 기본 개념이 여전히 현재 industry standard와 일치, 오탈자 없음.
