How do Python threading and asyncio compare?

Can you explain the difference between Python threading and asyncio?

Sure! Python threading allows for concurrent execution of code by using threads, while asyncio is designed for asynchronous programming using an event loop.

When should I use threading instead of asyncio?

Use threading for I/O-bound tasks that require parallel execution, while asyncio is better for handling many connections or tasks that are mostly waiting.

Can you give me an example of using asyncio?

Absolutely! Here's a simple example:

import asyncio

async def say_hello():
    print('Hello')
    await asyncio.sleep(1)
    print('World!')

asyncio.run(say_hello())

What are the limitations of using threading?

Threading can lead to issues like race conditions and is limited by the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) in CPython, which can hinder performance.
