asyncio is Python's asynchronous I/O library for writing concurrent code with the async/await syntax. It runs coroutines concurrently through event loops and provides APIs for network I/O and interprocess communication, subprocesses, queues, synchronization, streams, and task inspection. It is designed particularly for I/O-bound and high-level structured network code and serves as a foundation for asynchronous Python frameworks, including network servers, database connection libraries, and distributed task queues. The module is part of Python's standard library and is licensed under the Python Software Foundation License.
