# Async Python Patterns
|
|
|
|
Comprehensive guidance for implementing asynchronous Python applications using asyncio, concurrent programming patterns, and async/await for building high-performance, non-blocking systems.
|
|
|
|
## Use this skill when
|
|
|
|
- Building async web APIs (FastAPI, aiohttp, Sanic)
|
|
- Implementing concurrent I/O operations (database, file, network)
|
|
- Creating web scrapers with concurrent requests
|
|
- Developing real-time applications (WebSocket servers, chat systems)
|
|
- Processing multiple independent tasks simultaneously
|
|
- Building microservices with async communication
|
|
- Optimizing I/O-bound workloads
|
|
- Implementing async background tasks and queues
|
|
|
|
## Do not use this skill when
|
|
|
|
- The workload is CPU-bound with minimal I/O.
|
|
- A simple synchronous script is sufficient.
|
|
- The runtime environment cannot support asyncio/event loop usage.
|
|
|
|
## Instructions
|
|
|
|
- Clarify workload characteristics (I/O vs CPU), targets, and runtime constraints.
|
|
- Pick concurrency patterns (tasks, gather, queues, pools) with cancellation rules.
|
|
- Add timeouts, backpressure, and structured error handling.
|
|
- Include testing and debugging guidance for async code paths.
|
|
- If detailed examples are required, open `resources/implementation-playbook.md`.
|
|
|
|
Refer to `resources/implementation-playbook.md` for detailed patterns and examples.
