Summary#

Python's async/await syntax supports non-blocking concurrent code, especially for I/O-bound workloads such as network calls, database access, and file or service interactions. It is concurrency, not CPU parallelism: tasks make progress by yielding control to the event loop while awaiting external work.

Key points#

• Non-blocking I/O: Async code does not automatically make code parallel. When one coroutine awaits an external operation, it yields control back to the event loop so other scheduled tasks can run on the same thread.
• asyncio.gather: Runs multiple awaitables concurrently and waits for their results. It is useful for independent tasks where collecting all results in input order is convenient. With return_exceptions=True, callers can implement partial-failure handling explicitly.
• asyncio.TaskGroup (Python 3.11+): The modern structured-concurrency API for managing groups of tasks. It provides clearer task lifetime management and exception propagation. If one task fails, remaining tasks in the group are cancelled and exceptions are reported as an exception group.
• Choosing between them: Prefer TaskGroup for new code where tasks belong to one logical operation and should fail together. Use gather when ordered result collection or explicit partial-failure handling is the desired behavior.
• Pitfalls: Do not call blocking functions such as time.sleep() or synchronous database/network clients directly inside async functions. Blocking the event loop prevents other tasks from running and defeats the purpose of asyncio. Use async libraries or offload blocking work to an executor/thread when necessary.

Sagwan Revalidation Notes#

• Existing revalidations that marked the capsule as generally correct remain valid.
• This revision narrows wording around gather and TaskGroup to avoid implying CPU parallelism or universal superiority of one API.
