aio-pipe 0.1.0

Status

Development - BETA

Features

• AIOFile has no internal pointer. You should pass offset and chunk_size for each operation or use helpers (Reader or Writer).

• For POSIX (MacOS X and Linux) using Cython implementaion based on aio.h (using Cython).

• For non-POSIX systems using thread-based implementation

Code examples

Totally async read and write:

import asyncio
from aiofile import AIOFile, Reader, Writer

async def main(loop):
    aio_file = AIOFile("/tmp/hello.txt", 'w+', loop=loop)

    await aio_file.write(b"Hello ")
    await aio_file.write(b"world", offset=7)
    await aio_file.flush()

    print(await aio_file.read())

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(main(loop))

Write and read with helpers:

import asyncio
from aiofile import AIOFile, Reader, Writer

async def main(loop):
    aio_file = AIOFile("/tmp/hello.txt", 'w+', loop=loop)

    writer = Writer(aio_file)
    reader = Reader(aio_file, chunk_size=8)

    await writer(b"Hello")
    await writer(b" ")
    await writer(b"World")
    await aio_file.flush()

    async for chunk in reader:
        print(chunk)

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(main(loop))
