:mod:`asyncio` --- asynchronous I/O scheduler
|
|
=============================================
|
|
|
|
.. module:: asyncio
|
|
:synopsis: asynchronous I/O scheduler for writing concurrent code
|
|
|
|
|see_cpython_module|
|
|
`asyncio <https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/asyncio.html>`_
|
|
|
|
Example::
|
|
|
|
import asyncio
|
|
|
|
async def blink(led, period_ms):
|
|
while True:
|
|
led.on()
|
|
await asyncio.sleep_ms(5)
|
|
led.off()
|
|
await asyncio.sleep_ms(period_ms)
|
|
|
|
async def main(led1, led2):
|
|
asyncio.create_task(blink(led1, 700))
|
|
asyncio.create_task(blink(led2, 400))
|
|
await asyncio.sleep_ms(10_000)
|
|
|
|
# Running on a pyboard
|
|
from pyb import LED
|
|
asyncio.run(main(LED(1), LED(2)))
|
|
|
|
# Running on a generic board
|
|
from machine import Pin
|
|
asyncio.run(main(Pin(1), Pin(2)))
|
|
|
|
Core functions
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
.. function:: create_task(coro)
|
|
|
|
Create a new task from the given coroutine and schedule it to run.
|
|
|
|
Returns the corresponding `Task` object.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: current_task()
|
|
|
|
Return the `Task` object associated with the currently running task.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: run(coro)
|
|
|
|
Create a new task from the given coroutine and run it until it completes.
|
|
|
|
Returns the value returned by *coro*.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: sleep(t)
|
|
|
|
Sleep for *t* seconds (can be a float).
|
|
|
|
This is a coroutine.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: sleep_ms(t)
|
|
|
|
Sleep for *t* milliseconds.
|
|
|
|
This is a coroutine, and a MicroPython extension.
|
|
|
|
Additional functions
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
.. function:: wait_for(awaitable, timeout)
|
|
|
|
Wait for the *awaitable* to complete, but cancel it if it takes longer
|
|
than *timeout* seconds. If *awaitable* is not a task then a task will be
|
|
created from it.
|
|
|
|
If a timeout occurs, it cancels the task and raises ``asyncio.TimeoutError``:
|
|
this should be trapped by the caller. The task receives
|
|
``asyncio.CancelledError`` which may be ignored or trapped using ``try...except``
|
|
or ``try...finally`` to run cleanup code.
|
|
|
|
Returns the return value of *awaitable*.
|
|
|
|
This is a coroutine.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: wait_for_ms(awaitable, timeout)
|
|
|
|
Similar to `wait_for` but *timeout* is an integer in milliseconds.
|
|
|
|
This is a coroutine, and a MicroPython extension.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: gather(*awaitables, return_exceptions=False)
|
|
|
|
Run all *awaitables* concurrently. Any *awaitables* that are not tasks are
|
|
promoted to tasks.
|
|
|
|
Returns a list of return values of all *awaitables*.
|
|
|
|
This is a coroutine.
|
|
|
|
class Task
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
.. class:: Task()
|
|
|
|
This object wraps a coroutine into a running task. Tasks can be waited on
|
|
using ``await task``, which will wait for the task to complete and return
|
|
the return value of the task.
|
|
|
|
Tasks should not be created directly, rather use `create_task` to create them.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Task.cancel()
|
|
|
|
Cancel the task by injecting ``asyncio.CancelledError`` into it. The task may
|
|
ignore this exception. Cleanup code may be run by trapping it, or via
|
|
``try ... finally``.
|
|
|
|
class Event
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
.. class:: Event()
|
|
|
|
Create a new event which can be used to synchronise tasks. Events start
|
|
in the cleared state.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Event.is_set()
|
|
|
|
Returns ``True`` if the event is set, ``False`` otherwise.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Event.set()
|
|
|
|
Set the event. Any tasks waiting on the event will be scheduled to run.
|
|
|
|
Note: This must be called from within a task. It is not safe to call this
|
|
from an IRQ, scheduler callback, or other thread. See `ThreadSafeFlag`.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Event.clear()
|
|
|
|
Clear the event.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Event.wait()
|
|
|
|
Wait for the event to be set. If the event is already set then it returns
|
|
immediately.
|
|
|
|
This is a coroutine.
|
|
|
|
class ThreadSafeFlag
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
.. class:: ThreadSafeFlag()
|
|
|
|
Create a new flag which can be used to synchronise a task with code running
|
|
outside the asyncio loop, such as other threads, IRQs, or scheduler
|
|
callbacks. Flags start in the cleared state. The class does not currently
|
|
work under the Unix build of MicroPython.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: ThreadSafeFlag.set()
|
|
|
|
Set the flag. If there is a task waiting on the flag, it will be scheduled
|
|
to run.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: ThreadSafeFlag.clear()
|
|
|
|
Clear the flag. This may be used to ensure that a possibly previously-set
|
|
flag is clear before waiting for it.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: ThreadSafeFlag.wait()
|
|
|
|
Wait for the flag to be set. If the flag is already set then it returns
|
|
immediately. The flag is automatically reset upon return from ``wait``.
|
|
|
|
A flag may only be waited on by a single task at a time.
|
|
|
|
This is a coroutine.
|
|
|
|
class Lock
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
.. class:: Lock()
|
|
|
|
Create a new lock which can be used to coordinate tasks. Locks start in
|
|
the unlocked state.
|
|
|
|
In addition to the methods below, locks can be used in an ``async with`` statement.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Lock.locked()
|
|
|
|
Returns ``True`` if the lock is locked, otherwise ``False``.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Lock.acquire()
|
|
|
|
Wait for the lock to be in the unlocked state and then lock it in an atomic
|
|
way. Only one task can acquire the lock at any one time.
|
|
|
|
This is a coroutine.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Lock.release()
|
|
|
|
Release the lock. If any tasks are waiting on the lock then the next one in the
|
|
queue is scheduled to run and the lock remains locked. Otherwise, no tasks are
|
|
waiting an the lock becomes unlocked.
|
|
|
|
TCP stream connections
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
.. function:: open_connection(host, port, ssl=None)
|
|
|
|
Open a TCP connection to the given *host* and *port*. The *host* address will be
|
|
resolved using `socket.getaddrinfo`, which is currently a blocking call.
|
|
If *ssl* is a `ssl.SSLContext` object, this context is used to create the transport;
|
|
if *ssl* is ``True``, a default context is used.
|
|
|
|
Returns a pair of streams: a reader and a writer stream.
|
|
Will raise a socket-specific ``OSError`` if the host could not be resolved or if
|
|
the connection could not be made.
|
|
|
|
This is a coroutine.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: start_server(callback, host, port, backlog=5, ssl=None)
|
|
|
|
Start a TCP server on the given *host* and *port*. The *callback* will be
|
|
called with incoming, accepted connections, and be passed 2 arguments: reader
|
|
and writer streams for the connection.
|
|
|
|
If *ssl* is a `ssl.SSLContext` object, this context is used to create the transport.
|
|
|
|
Returns a `Server` object.
|
|
|
|
This is a coroutine.
|
|
|
|
.. class:: Stream()
|
|
|
|
This represents a TCP stream connection. To minimise code this class implements
|
|
both a reader and a writer, and both ``StreamReader`` and ``StreamWriter`` alias to
|
|
this class.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Stream.get_extra_info(v)
|
|
|
|
Get extra information about the stream, given by *v*. The valid values for *v* are:
|
|
``peername``.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Stream.close()
|
|
|
|
Close the stream.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Stream.wait_closed()
|
|
|
|
Wait for the stream to close.
|
|
|
|
This is a coroutine.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Stream.read(n=-1)
|
|
|
|
Read up to *n* bytes and return them. If *n* is not provided or -1 then read all
|
|
bytes until EOF. The returned value will be an empty bytes object if EOF is
|
|
encountered before any bytes are read.
|
|
|
|
This is a coroutine.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Stream.readinto(buf)
|
|
|
|
Read up to n bytes into *buf* with n being equal to the length of *buf*.
|
|
|
|
Return the number of bytes read into *buf*.
|
|
|
|
This is a coroutine, and a MicroPython extension.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Stream.readexactly(n)
|
|
|
|
Read exactly *n* bytes and return them as a bytes object.
|
|
|
|
Raises an ``EOFError`` exception if the stream ends before reading *n* bytes.
|
|
|
|
This is a coroutine.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Stream.readline()
|
|
|
|
Read a line and return it.
|
|
|
|
This is a coroutine.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Stream.write(buf)
|
|
|
|
Accumulated *buf* to the output buffer. The data is only flushed when
|
|
`Stream.drain` is called. It is recommended to call `Stream.drain` immediately
|
|
after calling this function.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Stream.drain()
|
|
|
|
Drain (write) all buffered output data out to the stream.
|
|
|
|
This is a coroutine.
|
|
|
|
.. class:: Server()
|
|
|
|
This represents the server class returned from `start_server`. It can be used
|
|
in an ``async with`` statement to close the server upon exit.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Server.close()
|
|
|
|
Close the server.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Server.wait_closed()
|
|
|
|
Wait for the server to close.
|
|
|
|
This is a coroutine.
|
|
|
|
Event Loop
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
.. function:: get_event_loop()
|
|
|
|
Return the event loop used to schedule and run tasks. See `Loop`.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: new_event_loop()
|
|
|
|
Reset the event loop and return it.
|
|
|
|
Note: since MicroPython only has a single event loop this function just
|
|
resets the loop's state, it does not create a new one.
|
|
|
|
.. class:: Loop()
|
|
|
|
This represents the object which schedules and runs tasks. It cannot be
|
|
created, use `get_event_loop` instead.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Loop.create_task(coro)
|
|
|
|
Create a task from the given *coro* and return the new `Task` object.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Loop.run_forever()
|
|
|
|
Run the event loop until `stop()` is called.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Loop.run_until_complete(awaitable)
|
|
|
|
Run the given *awaitable* until it completes. If *awaitable* is not a task
|
|
then it will be promoted to one.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Loop.stop()
|
|
|
|
Stop the event loop.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Loop.close()
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
.. method:: Loop.set_exception_handler(handler)
|
|
|
|
Set the exception handler to call when a Task raises an exception that is not
|
|
caught. The *handler* should accept two arguments: ``(loop, context)``.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Loop.get_exception_handler()
|
|
|
|
Get the current exception handler. Returns the handler, or ``None`` if no
|
|
custom handler is set.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Loop.default_exception_handler(context)
|
|
|
|
The default exception handler that is called.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Loop.call_exception_handler(context)
|
|
|
|
Call the current exception handler. The argument *context* is passed through and
|
|
is a dictionary containing keys: ``'message'``, ``'exception'``, ``'future'``.
|
