Concurrent Execution

The modules described in this chapter provide support for concurrent execution of code. The appropriate choice of tool will depend on the task to be executed (CPU bound vs IO bound) and preferred style of development (event driven cooperative multitasking vs preemptive multitasking). Here's an overview:

.. toctree::

   threading.rst
   multiprocessing.rst
   concurrent.rst
   concurrent.futures.rst
   subprocess.rst
   sched.rst
   queue.rst

The following are support modules for some of the above services:

.. toctree::

   _thread.rst
   _dummy_thread.rst
   dummy_threading.rst
