i’d say that multiprocessing probably covers 90% of “do it in the background” tasks, and asyncio covers 90% of async networking tasks futures, uvloop, tornado, twisted, coros, gevent, etc are kinda just all related to, or do similar to asyncio threading is kinda not as useful as you might like in python because of the GIL (simplistically, assume that python can only do 1 thing at once regardless of having multiple threads available or not until you know why that’s not always the case)
