Asynchronous file operations.

Project description

Latest Version https://img.shields.io/pypi/wheel/aiofile.svg https://img.shields.io/pypi/pyversions/aiofile.svg https://img.shields.io/pypi/l/aiofile.svg

Real asynchronous file operations with asyncio support.

Status

Development - Stable

Features

  • Since version 2.0.0 using caio, is contain linux libaio and two thread-based implementations (c-based and pure-python).

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

  • For Linux using implementation based on libaio.

  • For POSIX (MacOS X and optional Linux) using implementation using on threadpool.

  • Otherwise using pure-python thread-based implementation.

  • Implementation chooses automatically depending on system compatibility.

Code examples

All code examples requires python 3.6+.

Write and Read

import asyncio
from aiofile import AIOFile


async def main():
    async with AIOFile("/tmp/hello.txt", 'w+') as afp:
        await afp.write("Hello ")
        await afp.write("world", offset=7)
        await afp.fsync()

        print(await afp.read())


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

Write and read with helpers

import asyncio
from aiofile import AIOFile, Reader, Writer


async def main():
    async with AIOFile("/tmp/hello.txt", 'w+') as afp:
        writer = Writer(afp)
        reader = Reader(afp, chunk_size=8)

        await writer("Hello")
        await writer(" ")
        await writer("World")
        await afp.fsync()

        async for chunk in reader:
            print(chunk)


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

Read file line by line

import asyncio
from aiofile import AIOFile, LineReader, Writer


async def main():
    async with AIOFile("/tmp/hello.txt", 'w+') as afp:
        writer = Writer(afp)

        await writer("Hello")
        await writer(" ")
        await writer("World")
        await writer("\n")
        await writer("\n")
        await writer("From async world")
        await afp.fsync()

        async for line in LineReader(afp):
            print(line)


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

Reading and Writing for the unix pipe

import os
import asyncio
from aiofile import AIOFile, Reader, Writer


async def reader(fname):
    print('Start reader')
    async with AIOFile(fname, 'r') as afp:
        while True:
            # Maximum expected chunk size, must be passed.
            # Otherwise will be read zero bytes
            # (because unix pipe has zero size)
            data = await afp.read(4096)
            print(data)


async def writer(fname):
    print('Start writer')
    async with AIOFile(fname, 'w') as afp:
        while True:
            await asyncio.sleep(1)
            await afp.write('%06f' % loop.time())


async def main():
    fifo_name = "/tmp/test.fifo"

    if os.path.exists(fifo_name):
        os.remove(fifo_name)

    os.mkfifo(fifo_name)

    # Starting two readers and one writer, but only one reader
    # will be reading at the same time.
    await asyncio.gather(
        reader(fifo_name),
        reader(fifo_name),
        writer(fifo_name),
    )


loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()
asyncio.set_event_loop(loop)

try:
    loop.run_until_complete(main())
finally:
    # Shutting down and closing file descriptors after interrupt
    loop.run_until_complete(loop.shutdown_asyncgens())
    loop.close()
    print('Exited')

Read file line by line

import asyncio
from aiofile import AIOFile, LineReader, Writer


async def main():
    async with AIOFile("/tmp/hello.txt", 'w') as afp:
        writer = Writer(afp)

        for i in range(10):
            await writer("%d Hello World\n" % i)

        await writer("Tail-less string")


    async with AIOFile("/tmp/hello.txt", 'r') as afp:
        async for line in LineReader(afp):
            print(line[:-1])


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

Async CSV Dict Reader

import asyncio
import io
from csv import DictReader

from aiofile import AIOFile, LineReader


class AsyncDictReader:
    def __init__(self, afp, **kwargs):
        self.buffer = io.BytesIO()
        self.file_reader = LineReader(
            afp, line_sep=kwargs.pop('line_sep', '\n'),
            chunk_size=kwargs.pop('chunk_size', 4096),
            offset=kwargs.pop('offset', 0),
        )
        self.reader = DictReader(
            io.TextIOWrapper(
                self.buffer,
                encoding=kwargs.pop('encoding', 'utf-8'),
                errors=kwargs.pop('errors', 'replace'),
            ), **kwargs,
        )
        self.line_num = 0

    def __aiter__(self):
        return self

    async def __anext__(self):
        if self.line_num == 0:
            header = await self.file_reader.readline()
            self.buffer.write(header)

        line = await self.file_reader.readline()

        if not line:
            raise StopAsyncIteration

        self.buffer.write(line)
        self.buffer.seek(0)

        try:
            result = next(self.reader)
        except StopIteration as e:
            raise StopAsyncIteration from e

        self.buffer.seek(0)
        self.buffer.truncate(0)
        self.line_num = self.reader.line_num

        return result


async def main():
    async with AIOFile('sample.csv', 'rb') as afp:
        async for item in AsyncDictReader(afp, line_sep='\r'):
            print(item)


loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()
asyncio.set_event_loop(loop)


try:
    loop.run_until_complete(main())
finally:
    # Shutting down and closing file descriptors after interrupt
    loop.run_until_complete(loop.shutdown_asyncgens())
    loop.close()
