"Speaker: Nicholas Tollervey This talk introduces the asyncio module. I'll cover what it's for, how it works and describe how I used it to write a real-world networked application (a distributed hash table). We'll explore the event loop, co-routines, futures and networking with examples from my code. This won't be an exhaustive exposition. Rather, attendees will grasp enough of asyncio to continue with their own studies. Slides can be found at: https://speakerdeck.com/pycon2015 and https://github.com/PyCon/2015-slides"
