I understand the basics of async and await, but I am struggling with the concept of the event loop and how it handles CPU-bound versus I/O-bound tasks.
My specific questions are:
If I run an async function that contains a long-running CPU-intensive calculation (without any await points), will this block the entire event loop, effectively making it synchronous? If so, what is the standard pattern to prevent this from happening?
How does the asyncio event loop differ fundamentally from using multi-threading (threading module) in terms of context switching and resource management?
