Python: Asyncio vs Threading

What are the main differences between asyncio and threading in Python?

Asyncio is designed for asynchronous programming using coroutines, while threading uses multiple threads for concurrent execution.

When should I use asyncio instead of threading?

Use asyncio for I/O-bound tasks where you can benefit from non-blocking operations, while threading is better for CPU-bound tasks.

Can you give me an example of when to use each?

Sure! Use asyncio for web scraping or handling multiple network requests, and threading for tasks like image processing.

Are there any performance considerations I should be aware of?

Yes, asyncio can be more efficient for I/O-bound tasks, but threading can introduce overhead due to context switching.
