This post explains how to use classes in Python. Including: how to use static and private methods, constructors, and more!

In Python, the mere act of making a function call incurs a relatively large amount of overhead. If some function is called repeatedly in a tight loop, even if it isn’t a long-running function ...

Further, if you want to launch coroutines across thread boundaries, use the asyncio.run_coroutine_threadsafe() function, and pass the event loop to use with it as a parameter.

Python classes can make your code more complicated than necessary. So when should you use classes, and when should you use standard functions instead?
