How to not wait for function to finish python

Question

I\'m trying to program a loop with a asynchronous part in it. I dont want to wait for this asynchronous part every iteration though. Is there a way to not wait for this function

Answer 1

You should look at a library meant for asynchronous requests, such as gevent

Examples here: http://sdiehl.github.io/gevent-tutorial/#synchronous-asynchronous-execution

import gevent

def foo():
    print('Running in foo')
    gevent.sleep(0)
    print('Explicit context switch to foo again')

def bar():
    print('Explicit context to bar')
    gevent.sleep(0)
    print('Implicit context switch back to bar')

gevent.joinall([
    gevent.spawn(foo),
    gevent.spawn(bar),
])
