Wrapping Up

Intuitive Python — by David Muller (29 / 41)

👈 Building with an Alternate Model: asyncio | TOC | Chapter 4 Avoiding Traps 👉

In this chapter, you learned about threads and processes, the concurrent.futures module, the global interpreter lock, and even touched on the relatively new asyncio module. You now have a good working mental model of how concurrency works in Python should you choose that your code needs concurrency.

Now that we have a good understanding of Python’s fundamentals, we can look at common traps Python programs get caught in and how to avoid them.
