Tutorial — making a trading bot asynchronous using Python’s “unsync” library

The Python “unsync” library is a very easy way to create async code. This gives a practical example of how to use on a simple trading bot.

There are many ways to skin the async cat

In Python there are many valid ways of parallelising your code, including:

• The older way — using the threading and multiprocessing libraries
• The newer way — using async and await from the asyncio library embedded into core Python from 3.7 onwards
• The easier way (I think)— using the @unsync decorator from the Python unsync library

What is so great about ‘unsync’?

I’ve used all the above methods on different projects and they all work fine. But for me, unsync seems to be the easiest to use.

If you have code that is synchronous today and you want to make it asynchronous quickly and easily, then try the unsync library.

Simple example using unsync

The current unsync documentation is on the GitHub repo.
