Advanced Python Programming

An example in Python

While we will go into more depth regarding how asynchronous programming can be implemented in Python and the main tools we will be using, including the asyncio module, let's consider how asynchronous programming can improve the execution time of our Python programs.

Let's take a look at the Chapter16/example1.py file:

# Chapter16/example1.pyfrom math import sqrtdef is_prime(x):    print('Processing %i...' % x)    if x < 2:        print('%i is not a prime number.' % x)    elif x == 2:        print('%i is a prime number.' % x)    elif x % 2 == 0:        print('%i is not a prime number.' % x)    else:        limit = int(sqrt(x)) + 1        for i in range(3, limit, 2):            if x % i == 0:                print('%i is not a prime number.' % x)                return        print('%i is a prime number.' % x)if __name__ ...
