## Introduction to Asyncio
Asyncio is a Python library that enables concurrent programming using asynchronous I/O. It provides an event loop, coroutines, and tasks to help developers write asynchronous code. Asyncio is particularly useful for developing high-performance network servers, web applications, and other I/O-bound applications.
For additional information, check out the [official Python documentation on Asyncio](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html).

## Understanding the 'No Attribute Run' Error
The 'No Attribute Run' error occurs when the `asyncio.run()` function is called in Python versions 3.6 or lower. This function is available in Python 3.7 and later versions. If you are using an older version of Python, you might encounter this error.
The error message will look like this:
AttributeError: module 'asyncio' has no attribute 'run'

## Fixing the Error
To resolve the 'No Attribute Run' error, follow these steps:
### Step 1: Check Your Python Version
First, check your Python version by running the following command in the terminal:
```bash
python --version
If you are using Python 3.6 or lower, you can either update your Python version or use an alternative method to run your asynchronous code.
Step 2: Update Python (Optional)
If you want to update your Python version, visit the official Python website and download the latest version. Follow the installation instructions to update your Python environment.
Step 3: Alternative Method for Running Asyncio Code
If you are using Python 3.6 or lower and do not want to update your Python version, you can use the following alternative method to run your asyncio code:
import asyncio
async def main():
# Your asynchronous code here
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(main())
This code creates an event loop using the asyncio.get_event_loop() function and then runs the main() coroutine using the loop.run_until_complete() method.
