Python Essentials

Async (async / await)

1️⃣ What is async?

Normally, Python executes code line by line (synchronously).

Example:

import time

def task1():
    time.sleep(2)
    print("Task 1 done")

def task2():
    time.sleep(2)
    print("Task 2 done")

task1()
task2()

Output takes 4 seconds because each function blocks the next one.
