How do I use coroutines in Python?

Coroutines in Python are special functions that can pause and resume their execution. You can define a coroutine using the async def syntax.

Can you give me an example of a simple coroutine?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import asyncio

async def my_coroutine():
    print('Start coroutine')
    await asyncio.sleep(1)
    print('End coroutine')

asyncio.run(my_coroutine())

What does await do in this context?

The await keyword is used to pause the coroutine until the awaited task is complete, allowing other tasks to run in the meantime.

Can I run multiple coroutines at the same time?

Yes, you can run multiple coroutines concurrently using asyncio.gather(). It allows you to run several coroutines and wait for them to finish.
