Quick Answer
asyncio enables async programming with a single thread and event loop. async def defines a coroutine. await suspends the coroutine while waiting for I/O (doesn't block the thread - other coroutines run). asyncio.run() starts the event loop. asyncio.gather() runs coroutines concurrently. Use for: many concurrent I/O operations (HTTP, DB, websockets) with far fewer threads than traditional threading.
Answer
Use async/await with asyncio. async def defines async functions. await pauses execution. Ideal for I/O-bound workloads like network or DB operations.
