Concurrency is a powerful concept in Python that allows you to write programs that can handle multiple tasks simultaneously. Here's a quick overview of key topics:
What is Concurrency?
Concurrency refers to the ability of a program to execute multiple tasks in overlapping periods. In Python, this is achieved through threads, processes, and asynchronous programming.Thread vs Process
Threads share the same memory space and are lightweight, while processes have separate memory and are heavier. Use threads for I/O-bound tasks and processes for CPU-bound work.Asynchronous Programming
AsyncIO enables non-blocking code execution using coroutines. This is ideal for handling network requests or event loops efficiently.
