# Async Python Patterns

Stop your Python from sitting idle waiting on I/O

## What this does

Your Python program spends most of its time waiting - on the network, on a database, on disk - and doing nothing while it waits. Async lets it get on with other work in the meantime. This covers asyncio and the async/await patterns behind that. Reach for it when building APIs or anything I/O-heavy.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Build an async API in Python
- Write concurrent code with async and await
- Make I/O-bound work non-blocking

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Async Python Patterns

This covers Python asyncio, concurrent programming, and async/await patterns for high-performance applications.

Use it when building async APIs, concurrent systems, or I/O-bound applications that need non-blocking operations.

## Questions

### Is Async Python Patterns safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Async Python Patterns and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit be57c0b2e3c0, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/async-python-patterns.

### How do I install Async Python Patterns?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/async-python-patterns on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/wshobson/agents/tree/be57c0b2e3c05c528ca6132b87410b385718775f/plugins/python-development/skills/async-python-patterns. Install from that link, not the branch.
