Can you be more specific what you're looking for? There are a lot of aspects to async programming in Python, and there's been a lot of language-support changes in recent versions. This just means there will be a lot of differing efforts to explain things based on when the tutorial was written. Plus async, while the way we work as humans, is different to the way we tend to think of programming (yes, I'm speaking for myself here) unless you're a GUI programmer, where event loops are old hat. "Wraps some other service" - several tutorials I've glanced at do a simple webserver, because that's an example where we understand why synchronous doesn't work, and the basic concepts are pretty simple (good webservers are _just_ a little harder, of course). _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
