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.

Summary


Unfortunately, we've reached the end of our journey learning about the ins and outs of working with concurrency in Python.

Throughout this book, we looked at the fundamental concepts of threads and processes, which has enabled us to work with more advanced concepts such as event-driven programming, reactive programming, and so on.

You should now be adept at the art of designing and building asynchronous systems that handle their workloads in a performant manner. You should also be comfortable with the different ways you can approach problems and why some ways are better than others.
