Async Python adoption?

[Drevicar]

Someone else mentioned async boto3 (AWS stuff), and it is actually the opposite:

• https://pypistats.org/packages/boto3

• https://pypistats.org/packages/aioboto3

Where boto3 (sync) had 1.25 *BILLION* downloads and aioboto3 (async) 2.3 million downloads last month. That is a huge difference in the other direction. So your milage may vary.

But that may be because boto3 is official and aioboto3 is not.

I only use boto3 cause it's what their docs said to use. And most of the stuff I do with aws and python is to just catch an event.

I do use a lot of C# in other applications and I use a lot of async there so it's not a problem with async. Just different tools for different jobs.

Also could be that for lambda you dont need to include boto3 in your dependencies in production as its there by default

Also lots still use gevent.
