Working with Files Asynchronously in Python using aiofiles and asyncio

Asynchronous code in Python uses the asyncio library to enable non-blocking, concurrent execution. The aiofiles library provides a way to read and write files asynchronously, allowing developers to avoid blocking file I/O operations. By using async/await syntax and the aiofiles library, developers can write asynchronous code that is efficient and scalable. The examples in this post demonstrate how to use aiofiles to read from and write to files asynchronously, including reading JSON data from multiple files and writing move lists for each Pokémon. The asyncio library provides tools such as asyncio.ensure_future and asyncio.gather to manage asynchronous tasks and ensure data consistency. Asynchronous code is useful for handling large amounts of data or performing I/O operations that may block other parts of the program, making it an essential tool for efficient Python development.
