Can you tell about different ways to use the asyncio module in Python?

The asyncio module in Python is used for writing asynchronous code that allows multiple operations to run concurrently without blocking the main thread.

Main ways to use asyncio:

• Asynchronous functions (coroutines): declared with async def and can use await to wait for other asynchronous operations.

• Running the event loop: using asyncio.run() to start a coroutine and handle asynchronous tasks.

• Creating tasks: with asyncio.create_task() to run a coroutine in parallel with others.

• Working with asynchronous primitives: such as queues (asyncio.Queue), locks (asyncio.Lock), semaphores, etc.

Example of simple asynchronous code:

import asyncio

async def say_after(delay, message):
    await asyncio.sleep(delay)
    print(message)

async def main():
    task1 = asyncio.create_task(say_after(1, "Hello"))
    task2 = asyncio.create_task(say_after(2, "World"))
    await task1
    await task2

asyncio.run(main())

This code runs two tasks in parallel without blocking execution.
