In this section, you will learn about asyncio and aiohttp for developing asynchronous applications, which can greatly simplify the process of writing servers when using an event-driven approach.
Building asynchronous applications with asyncio and aiohttp
Introducing asyncio
asyncio is a Python module that is part of its standard library. It allows you to write single-threaded asynchronous code and implement concurrency in Python. This module is available from Python 3.4 and its documentation is available at https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html.
Basically, asyncio provides an event loop for asynchronous programming. For example, if we need to make requests without blocking the main thread, we can use the asyncio library...
