How can I use futures with asyncio in Python?

How can I use futures with asyncio in Python?

You can use the concurrent.futures module along with asyncio to run blocking code in an asynchronous way. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example.

Here's a simple example:

import asyncio
from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor

def blocking_io():
    # Simulate a blocking I/O operation
    return 'Blocking I/O result'

async def main():
    loop = asyncio.get_running_loop()
    with ThreadPoolExecutor() as pool:
        result = await loop.run_in_executor(pool, blocking_io)
        print(result)

asyncio.run(main())

What if I want to use multiple futures?

You can create multiple futures by calling loop.run_in_executor multiple times. You can gather the results using asyncio.gather().
