Somewhat on topic given that OP brought up coroutines in Python: what resources have folks used to understand Python's asyncio story in depth? I'm just now finally understanding how to use stuff, but it was through a combination of the official documentation, the books "Using Asyncio in Python" and "Expert Python Programming", none of which were particularly good. Normally I'd rely just on the official docs, but the docs have created much confusion, it seems, because there's a lot in them that are useful more so for library/framework developers than for users. So, I'm just wondering if anyone has great resources for really gaining a strong understanding of Python's asyncio or how else you might have gone about gaining proficiency to the point where you felt comfortable using asyncio in real projects.

I read the same books you did, and I was equally unsatisfied afterwards. The "Using Asyncio in Python 3" book was good enough to help me write some code that had to hit an API 400k times without blocking, but I never returned to asyncio after that.

Afterwards, I realized there was a package called aiohttp that I could've used, but too late.

I'll be interested to see what other HN people have done.

This blog helps me a lot about the motivation and underlying mechanism of python asyncio https://tenthousandmeters.com/blog/python-behind-the-scenes-...

Thanks a lot, I'll check that out.
