:mod:`asyncio` --- Asynchronous I/O

:synopsis: Asynchronous I/O.

import asyncio
|
|
|
|
async def main():
|

print('Hello ...')

await asyncio.sleep(1)

asyncio.run(main())
|

|
|
asyncio is a library to write **concurrent** code using
|
|
the **async/await** syntax.
|
|
|
|
asyncio is used as a foundation for multiple Python asynchronous
|
|
frameworks that provide high-performance network and web-servers,
|
|
database connection libraries, distributed task queues, etc.
|
|
|
|
asyncio is often a perfect fit for IO-bound and high-level
|
|
**structured** network code.
|
|
|
|
asyncio provides a set of **high-level** APIs to:
|
|
|
|
* :ref:`run Python coroutines <coroutine>` concurrently and
|
|
have full control over their execution;
|
|
|
|
* perform :ref:`network IO and IPC <asyncio-streams>`;
|
|
|
|
* control :ref:`subprocesses <asyncio-subprocess>`;
|
|
|
|
* distribute tasks via :ref:`queues <asyncio-queues>`;
|
|
|
|
* :ref:`synchronize <asyncio-sync>` concurrent code;
|
|
|
|
Additionally, there are **low-level** APIs for
|
|
*library and framework developers* to:
|
|
|
|
* create and manage :ref:`event loops <asyncio-event-loop>`, which
|
|
provide asynchronous APIs for :ref:`networking <loop_create_server>`,
|
|
running :ref:`subprocesses <loop_subprocess_exec>`,
|
|
handling :ref:`OS signals <loop_add_signal_handler>`, etc;
|
|
|
|
* implement efficient protocols using
|
|
:ref:`transports <asyncio-transports-protocols>`;
|
|
|
|
* :ref:`bridge <asyncio-futures>` callback-based libraries and code
|
|
with async/await syntax.

You can experiment with an ``asyncio`` concurrent context in the REPL:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: pycon
|
|
|
|
$ python -m asyncio
|
|
asyncio REPL ...
|
|
Use "await" directly instead of "asyncio.run()".
|
|
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
|
|
>>> import asyncio
|
|
>>> await asyncio.sleep(10, result='hello')
|
|
'hello'
