## Core Implementation

### Main Module: `src/un_async.py`

**Size:** ~705 lines

**Key Components:**

1. **Credential System** (Lines 78-168)
   - 4-tier priority: arguments → env vars → ~/.unsandbox/accounts.csv → ./accounts.csv
   - Robust CSV parsing with error handling
   - Support for multiple accounts via `UNSANDBOX_ACCOUNT` env var

2. **Request Signing** (Lines 159-180)
   - HMAC-SHA256 signing for authentication
   - Message format: `timestamp:METHOD:path:body`
   - Deterministic, secure, replay-resistant

3. **Async HTTP Client** (Lines 182-223)
   - Built on `aiohttp.ClientSession`
   - 120-second timeout
   - Automatic JSON parsing
   - Support for GET, POST, DELETE methods

4. **Execution Functions** (Lines 261-334)
   - `execute_code()` - Sync execution (awaits completion)
   - `execute_async()` - Fire-and-forget (returns job_id)
   - Automatic polling with exponential backoff

5. **Job Management** (Lines 337-434)
   - `get_job()` - Single poll
   - `wait_for_job()` - Polling with backoff
   - `cancel_job()` - Cancellation
   - `list_jobs()` - List all jobs

6. **Metadata Operations** (Lines 453-493)
   - `get_languages()` - Get supported languages
   - Cache invalidation: 1 hour TTL
   - Language detection from filenames

7. **Snapshot Operations** (Lines 565-704)
   - `session_snapshot()` - Session snapshots
   - `service_snapshot()` - Service snapshots
   - `list_snapshots()` - List all
   - `restore_snapshot()` - Restore from backup
   - `delete_snapshot()` - Delete snapshot

### Polling Strategy

**Delays (milliseconds):** [300, 450, 700, 900, 650, 1600, 2000, ...]

**Cumulative delays:**
- After 1st poll: 300ms
- After 2nd poll: 750ms
- After 3rd poll: 1450ms
- After 4th poll: 2350ms
- ...continues with last 2000ms for remaining polls

**Benefits:**
- Doesn't hammer the API
- Balances latency vs throughput
- Respects user time constraints

## Installation & Setup

### For Users

cd clients/python/async
pip install -e ".[dev]"
make test
make lint
```

### For Testing Examples
```bash
export UNSANDBOX_PUBLIC_KEY="your_key"

python examples/hello_world_async.py
```

## Migration Path

### From Sync to Async
1. Change import: `from un import` → `from un_async import`
2. Add `async` keyword: `async def main()`
3. Add `await`: `result = await execute_code(...)`
4. Wrap in asyncio: `asyncio.run(main())`

### Complete Migration Example

**Before (Sync):**
```python
from un import execute_code

result = execute_code("python", "print('hello')")
print(result["stdout"])
```

**After (Async):**
```python
import asyncio
from un_async import execute_code

async def main():
    result = await execute_code("python", "print('hello')")
    print(result["stdout"])

asyncio.run(main())
```

## Future Enhancements

Potential additions (not in scope):
- WebSocket support for streaming output
- Request/response interceptors
- Built-in retry decorators
- Metrics/tracing hooks
- CLI wrapper
- Type stubs (.pyi files)
- Async context managers for session management
