How to Use Python Coroutine with Asyncio

When diving into the realms of asynchronous programming in Python, many beginners stumble upon a crucial question: How can I control the order in which my coroutines execute? This challenge often arises when trying to replicate behavior from other languages, such as Lua, where coroutines allow for the systematic execution of sequences. In this post, we'll explore exactly how to do this in Python using the asyncio library.

The Problem

Consider we want to print "Main" before the delayed printing of "Foo." In Lua, this is straightforward using a coroutine structure. However, when translating that construct into Python using asyncio, we notice that the output is not as desired. Here’s the initial Python code that doesn’t quite achieve the intended outcome:

Output of the Above Code:

Waits 2 seconds

Foo

Main

As beginners, this might leave you confused about how to get just the right output sequence in your Python programs.

The Solution

To execute coroutines concurrently and ensure our desired output, we will utilize asyncio.gather(). This function allows us to run multiple coroutines at the same time and control their execution flow better.

Steps to Implement the Solution

Import Required Functions:
First, we need to import the necessary functions from the asyncio library.

Define the Coroutines:
We'll set up our foo coroutine, which waits for 2 seconds and then prints "Foo." Additionally, we need a simple coroutine to print "Main."

Using asyncio.gather():
We'll use asyncio.gather() in our main routine to execute the coroutines concurrently. This is the key step that allows both coroutines to run simultaneously.

Here is the Revised Code:

Expected Output of the Improved Code:

Main

Waits 2 seconds

Foo

Conclusion

Using Python's asyncio, you can efficiently manage the execution order of coroutines, ensuring that outputs appear in the right sequence. By employing asyncio.gather(), we can initiate multiple coroutines concurrently and achieve desired output behaviors seamlessly.

Now you can leverage these coroutine techniques in your own Python projects, bringing not only clarity but also efficiency to your asynchronous programming endeavors! Happy coding!
