http://www.giantflyingsaucer.com/blog/?p=5557 In spring 2014 Python 3.4 shipped a provisional package (#asyncio) which according to the docs “provides infrastructure for writing single-threaded #concurrent code using #coroutines, #multiplexing I/O access over #sockets and other resources, running network clients and servers, and other related primitives“. I can’t possibly cover everything in this article but I can introduce some of the things you can do with it. As per my New’s Years resolution I’ll be building these #examples using Python 3.4.2 (Asyncio has been ported back to Python 3.3 now as well).

https://github.com/python/asyncio The #asyncio#module provides infrastructure for writing #single-threaded concurrent code using #coroutines, #multiplexing#I/O access over sockets and other resources, running network clients and servers, and other related primitives. Here is a more detailed list of the package contents: a pluggable event loop with various system-specific implementations; transport and protocol abstractions (similar to those in Twisted); concrete support for TCP, UDP, SSL, subprocess pipes, delayed calls, and others (some may be system-dependent); a Future class that mimics the one in the concurrent.futures module, but adapted for use with the event loop; #coroutines and #tasks based on yield from (PEP 380), to help write concurrent code in a sequential fashion; cancellation support for Futures and coroutines; synchronization primitives for use between coroutines in a single thread, mimicking those in the #threading module; an interface for passing work off to a threadpool, for times when you absolutely, positively have to use a library that makes blocking I/O calls. Note: The implementation of asyncio was previously called "Tulip".
