Thread-Safe Producer Consumer Queue in Python

A producer-consumer pattern using thread-safe queue.Queue with two threads, demonstrating safe communication and synchronized task completion.

queue threading producer-consumer
Python
import queue
import threading
import time
import random


def producer(q, item_count):
    for i in range(item_count):
        item = random.randint(1, 100)
        q.put(item)
        print(f"Producer added: {item}")
        time.sleep(0.1)


def consumer(q):
    while True:
        try:
            item = q.get(time…

asyncio Condition wait notify pattern in Python

Coordinate coroutines with asyncio.Condition: workers wait for notifications and the main task notifies one or all of them.

asyncio concurrency synchronization
Python
import asyncio


async def worker(condition, name):
    async with condition:
        print(f"{name} waiting...")
        await condition.wait()
        print(f"{name} notified!")


async def main():
    condition = asyncio.Condition()
    tasks = [asyncio.create_task(worker(condition, f"worker-{i}")) for i in range(3…

asyncio sleep cooperative scheduling demo in Python

This demo shows how asyncio.sleep yields control between concurrent tasks, letting multiple workers interleave their ticks.

asyncio concurrency scheduling
Python
import asyncio

async def worker(name, delay):
    for i in range(3):
        print(f"{name}: tick {i}")
        await asyncio.sleep(delay)
    return f"{name} done"

async def main():
    tasks = [
        asyncio.create_task(worker("A", 0.1)),
        asyncio.create_task(worker("B", 0.2)),
        asyncio.create_tas…
