IndyPy: Practical Python Async in 42 Lines of Code

Agenda:

4:00p - 4:15p Announcements and introductions

4:15p - 5:30p "Practical Python Async in 42 Lines of Code" by: Calvin Hendryx-Parker
Sometimes you know you have a problem that could benefit from asynchronous code. For example, have you ever wanted to scrape multiple pages of a site hunting for information? Doing this in series can be a very long process, and most of your time will be spent idle waiting on the network. So how do you take a synchronous Python program and super-charge it with async abilities — without having to learn every last bit of how the async libraries work? Let’s go on a journey and fix up our code to be blazing fast.
