Concurrency and Parallelism in Python – Threads, Multiprocessing, and Async Programming

Modern applications often need to perform multiple tasks simultaneously to improve efficiency. Python provides three primary ways to achieve this: ✅ Threads – Lightweight tasks running in the same process ✅ Multiprocessing – Running tasks in parallel using multiple CPU cores ✅ Async Programming – Handling I/O-bound operations efficiently Understanding when and how to use these techniques will help you write more efficient Python programs. Let’s dive in!
