The async_generator library
===========================
Python 3.6 added `async generators
<https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0525/>`__. (What's an async
generator? `Check out my 5-minute lightning talk demo from PyCon 2016
<https://youtu.be/PulzIT8KYLk?t=24m30s>`__.) Python 3.7 adds some more
tools to make them usable, like ``contextlib.asynccontextmanager``.
This library gives you all that back to Python 3.5.
For example, this code only works in Python 3.6+:
.. code-block:: python3
async def load_json_lines(stream_reader):
async for line in stream_reader:
yield json.loads(line)
But this code does the same thing, and works on Python 3.5+:
.. code-block:: python3
from async_generator import async_generator, yield_
@async_generator
async def load_json_lines(stream_reader):
async for line in stream_reader:
await yield_(json.loads(line))
Or in Python 3.7, you can write:
.. code-block:: python3
from contextlib import asynccontextmanager
@asynccontextmanager
async def background_server():
async with trio.open_nursery() as nursery:
value = await nursery.start(my_server)
try:
yield value
finally:
# Kill the server when the scope exits
nursery.cancel_scope.cancel()
This is the same, but back to 3.5:
.. code-block:: python3
from async_generator import async_generator, yield_, asynccontextmanager
@asynccontextmanager
@async_generator
async def background_server():
async with trio.open_nursery() as nursery:
value = await nursery.start(my_server)
try:
await yield_(value)
finally:
# Kill the server when the scope exits
nursery.cancel_scope.cancel()
(And if you're on 3.6, you can use ``@asynccontextmanager`` with
native generators.)
Let's do this
=============
* Install: ``python3 -m pip install -U async_generator`` (or on Windows,
maybe ``py -3 -m pip install -U async_generator``
* Manual: https://async-generator.readthedocs.io/
* Bug tracker and source code: https://github.com/python-trio/async_generator
* Real-time chat: https://gitter.im/python-trio/general

* Code of conduct: Contributors are requested to follow our `code of

all project spaces.
How come some of those links talk about "trio"?
===============================================
`Trio <https://trio.readthedocs.io>`__ is a new async concurrency
library for Python that's obsessed with usability and correctness – we
want to make it *easy* to get things *right*. The ``async_generator``
library is maintained by the Trio project as part of that mission, and
because Trio uses ``async_generator`` internally.
You can use ``async_generator`` with any async library. It works great
with ``asyncio``, or Twisted, or whatever you like. (But we think Trio
is pretty sweet.)
