Learning Concurrency in Python

By: Elliot Forbes

Overview of this book

Python is a very high level, general purpose language that is utilized heavily in fields such as data science and research, as well as being one of the top choices for general purpose programming for programmers around the world. It features a wide number of powerful, high and low-level libraries and frameworks that complement its delightful syntax and enable Python programmers to create. This book introduces some of the most popular libraries and frameworks and goes in-depth into how you can leverage these libraries for your own high-concurrent, highly-performant Python programs. We'll cover the fundamental concepts of concurrency needed to be able to write your own concurrent and parallel software systems in Python. The book will guide you down the path to mastering Python concurrency, giving you all the necessary hardware and theoretical knowledge. We'll cover concepts such as debugging and exception handling as well as some of the most popular libraries and frameworks that allow you to create event-driven and reactive systems. By the end of the book, you'll have learned the techniques to write incredibly efficient concurrent systems that follow best practices.

Chapter 12. Choosing a Solution

In this final chapter, we'll look very briefly at some of the libraries that I have unfortunately been unable to cover in this book. These will be cursory glances to merely let you know that there are alternatives on the market. I'm leaving the onus on you to research on these libraries and get up and running with them if you desire.

We'll also look briefly at the process you should follow in order to effectively choose what libraries and what programming paradigms you leverage for your Python software projects. We'll also cover some of the books and learning resources out there that can aid you in your learning.
