How does the asyncio event loop schedule coroutines?

Q: How does the asyncio event loop schedule coroutines?

`asyncio` runs **one thread** with an **event loop** that juggles many coroutines cooperatively. Each task runs until it hits an **`await`** on something not-yet-ready (I/O, a timer, another future); the loop then **parks** that task and runs the next **ready** one. When the awaited thing completes, a callback marks the task ready again and the loop **resumes** it where it left off: event loop <text class='d-text' x='330' y='40' text-a
