Futures in asyncio (#asyncion 2)

asyncio — an introduction (#asyncio

Imagine you’re at a restaurant. When you order a pizza, the waiter gives you a special ticket. This ticket is like a promise — it says “your pizza will be ready soon!”

This ticket is just like a Future in Python:

• The ticket (Future) is a promise for something you’ll get later (your pizza)
• While the chefs are cooking your pizza (async operation), you can do other fun things like coloring or playing games
• When your pizza is ready, the waiter brings it to your table (the Future is completed)

The cool thing is, just like you can order multiple things at the restaurant and get different tickets for each one, you can have multiple Futures running at the same time in Python. Each one is like a separate promise for something that will be ready later!

Technically, it is a low-level awaitable object that represents an eventual result of an asynchronous operation.

When we create a Future, we're essentially declaring a placeholder for a result that will be available at some point in the…
