Python Asyncio

Each time I need to write a multithreaded program in Python, I read through the Asyncio page in the Python docs, and give up and code with the threading library. This time I found a pretty good five-part tutorial written by someone at the BBC, so I'm bookmarking it here.

1. https://bbc.github.io/cloudfit-public-docs/asyncio/asyncio-part-1.html
   
2. https://bbc.github.io/cloudfit-public-docs/asyncio/asyncio-part-2
3. https://bbc.github.io/cloudfit-public-docs/asyncio/asyncio-part-3
4. https://bbc.github.io/cloudfit-public-docs/asyncio/asyncio-part-4
5. https://bbc.github.io/cloudfit-public-docs/asyncio/asyncio-part-5

Of course, this leaves the question of why exactly one should use Asyncio instead of threads

The official, and largely opaque (to me anyway) Asyncio docs

• https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html

The threading docs and a useful tutorial on condition variables
