Intro to async Python | Writing a Web Crawler

async/await and asyncio.

Asynchronous programming in Python uses the async/await keywords and the asyncio library. It's a style of programming that takes advantage of the fact that it's possible to wait for many things at the same time, so it sees use particularly in libraries that do heavy IO, like writing to disk or waiting on packets from the network. In this video, we are introduced to the basics of the syntax, and then get into an implementation of a basic web crawler.
