Asynchronous
Asynchronous programming is a type of parallel programming in which a unit of work is allowed to run separately from the primary application thread. When the work is complete, it notifies the main thread about completion or failure of the worker thread. This style is mostly concerned with the asynchronous execution of tasks. Python has several asynchronous frameworks that are used to implement asynchronous programming.

gevent
gevent is a Python library that provides a high-level interface to the event loop. It is based on non-blocking IO (libevent/libev) and lightweight greenlets. Non-blocking IO means requests waiting for network IO won’t block other requests; greenlets mean we can continue to write code in synchronous style.
