Understanding Coroutines 🤓
Coroutines are a type of generator function that can pause and resume their execution. They are a key component in Python's asynchronous programming capabilities.
Here's what makes coroutines stand out:
- They can be suspended and resumed, making them great for I/O bound tasks.
- They allow you to write asynchronous code that is as clear and readable as synchronous code.
Getting Started with Coroutines
To define a coroutine, you use the async keyword before the function definition. Then you can use the await keyword to yield control to the event loop.
Example Usage
async def my_coroutine():
print("Start coroutine")
await asyncio.sleep(1)
print("End coroutine")
