Introduction

Repository with demo code for using async in python.

Three sets of examples follow.

Sleep

• Demonstrates sleeping synchronously and asynchronously with different libraries.
• Scripts can be run as is: python sleep_anyio.py

HTTP Requester

• Demonstrates requesting data from Singapore government's open data platform with different libraries.
• Scripts can be run as is: python http_requester_aiohttp.py.

Client Server

• Demonstrates two ways of setting up an async server and client, where the server responds the same message to the client after a short pause.
• To run, first start a server script in a terminal with python echo_server_anyio.py. Then, in a second terminal, running python echo_client_anyio.py hello will send 'hello' to the server.
