In Python’s asynchronous programming (using asyncio
, Trio
, or AnyIO
), an event loop manages concurrent tasks
by having them yield control during time-consuming operations, enabling other tasks to run.
However, the synchronous input()
function blocks the current thread until user input is received, and when called from a coroutine, it
blocks the entire event loop, preventing other tasks from executing and making the application unresponsive - effectively defeating the purpose of
asynchronous programming for applications requiring concurrent operations or user interaction.
