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.

Designing your systems


Throughout the course of this book, we looked at a multitude of different concepts that each suit different problem sets. In this section of the chapter, we will look at when and where each of these distinct concepts are best used.

You should note that this is mostly advisory; as with everything, there is no silver bullet. What works for one individual may not work for others. If you are designing enterprise systems, then I implore you to perform as much research as is heavenly possible before diving into writing any code.

Some problems will require an eclectic mix of different solutions. Software architecture is an art that requires a great deal of time and effort to become proficient at but it's incredibly rewarding once you have become proficient.

Requirements

Before any design work can be done, a considerable amount of time should be spent on gathering the requirements of your key stakeholders for your project. The amount of time and effort spent on this portion should...
