How Python Asyncio Works: Recreating It from Scratch

Asyncio is a hot topic in Python right now due to its ability to handle I/O-bound programs efficiently. In this article, the author simplifies asyncio using Python generators, which are essential for understanding asyncio. Generators make code more memory efficient by generating values one by one without storing the entire sequence. The author explains how generators work and demonstrates building an event loop using generators. Additionally, the article discusses transitioning from using yield to await, showcasing how to create a basic Task class and implementing a sleep function for async compatibility. By the end, the author seamlessly integrates asyncio into the code, highlighting the power and simplicity of asyncio for task management.
