**Key Points from Module 1: Event-Driven Programming in Python**

Here are the main points from the document:

* **Introduction to Event-Driven Programming (EDP)**:
	+ EDP is a paradigm where execution is controlled by external events.
	+ Characteristics: asynchronous execution, decoupling, responsiveness, non-blocking, and scalability.
* **Comparison with Procedural Programming**:
	+ Procedural programming: instructions execute top-to-bottom, control flow set by the programmer.
	+ Event-Driven Programming: execution is driven by incoming events, control flow set by the user or system.
* **Real-World Analogies**:
	+ Examples: smartphone, traffic light, fire alarm, customer service, email inbox.
	+ Identifying event sources, events, and handlers in everyday systems.
* **Core Components of Event-Driven Systems**:
	+ **Events**: occurrences that the program can detect and respond to, categorized into user input, system, network, hardware/sensor, and application events.
	+ **The Event Loop**: the central dispatcher that continuously polls for new events and routes each one to its registered handler.
	+ **Callbacks and Handlers**: functions registered to execute when a specific event fires.
* **Python's asyncio Event Loop**:
	+ Entering the loop using `asyncio.get_event_loop().run_forever()`.
	+ Using coroutines (async def) and I/O events (sockets, files) with OS-level selectors.

These points cover the foundational concepts of Event-Driven Programming in Python, which will be essential for your further studies in the field.
