If you are interested in developing concurrent applications with Python, don’t know the difference between concurrency and parallelism, never really understood what Greenlets are or just want to learn a couple of new buzzwords to impress your friends, you are in the right place.
This talk will give a brief overview of what concurrency is, how it is different from parallelism and in which cases you could benefit from writing concurrent programs. After that I will describe other methods of concurrency available in Python, with a focus on Greenlet-based concurrency and its inner workings. At the end, I will show an example program written in both sequential and concurrent way to show the difference in execution time.
