Key Features

  • Supports both client and server side of HTTP protocol.

  • Supports both client and server Web-Sockets out-of-the-box.

  • Web-server has middlewares and pluggable routing.

Getting started

Client

To retrieve something from the web:

import aiohttp
import asyncio
import async_timeout

async def fetch(session, url):
    async with async_timeout.timeout(10):
        async with session.get(url) as response:
            return await response.text()

async def main():
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        html = await fetch(session, 'http://python.org')
        print(html)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    loop.run_until_complete(main())

Server

This is simple usage example:

from aiohttp import web

async def handle(request):
    name = request.match_info.get('name', "Anonymous")
    text = "Hello, " + name
    return web.Response(text=text)

async def wshandler(request):
    ws = web.WebSocketResponse()
    await ws.prepare(request)

    async for msg in ws:
        if msg.type == web.MsgType.text:
            await ws.send_str("Hello, {}".format(msg.data))
        elif msg.type == web.MsgType.binary:
            await ws.send_bytes(msg.data)
        elif msg.type == web.MsgType.close:
            break

    return ws


app = web.Application()
app.router.add_get('/echo', wshandler)
app.router.add_get('/', handle)
app.router.add_get('/{name}', handle)

web.run_app(app)

Changelog

3.0.8 (2018-03-12)

  • Use asyncio.current_task() on Python 3.7 (#2825)

3.0.7 (2018-03-08)

  • Fix SSL proxy support by client. (#2810)

  • Restore a imperative check in setup.py for python version. The check works in parallel to environment marker. As effect a error about unsupported Python versions is raised even on outdated systems with very old setuptools version installed. (#2813)

3.0.6 (2018-03-05)

  • Add _reuse_address and _reuse_port to web_runner.TCPSite.__slots__. (#2792)

3.0.5 (2018-02-27)

  • Fix InvalidStateError on processing a sequence of two RequestHandler.data_received calls on web server. (#2773)

3.0.4 (2018-02-26)

  • Fix IndexError in HTTP request handling by server. (#2752)

  • Fix MultipartWriter.append* no longer returning part/payload. (#2759)

3.0.3 (2018-02-25)

  • Relax attrs dependency to minimal actually supported version 17.0.3 The change allows to avoid version conflicts with currently existing test tools.

3.0.2 (2018-02-23)

Security Fix

  • Prevent Windows absolute URLs in static files. Paths like /static/D:\path and /static/\\hostname\drive\path are forbidden.

3.0.1

  • Technical release for fixing distribution problems.

3.0.0 (2018-02-12)

Features

  • Speed up the PayloadWriter.write method for large request bodies. (#2126)

  • StreamResponse and Response are now MutableMappings. (#2246)

  • ClientSession publishes a set of signals to track the HTTP request execution. (#2313)

  • Content-Disposition fast access in ClientResponse (#2455)

  • Added support to Flask-style decorators with class-based Views. (#2472)

  • Signal handlers (registered callbacks) should be coroutines. (#2480)

  • Support async with test_client.ws_connect(...) (#2525)

  • Introduce site and application runner as underlying API for web.run_app implementation. (#2530)

  • Only quote multipart boundary when necessary and sanitize input (#2544)

  • Make the aiohttp.ClientResponse.get_encoding method public with the processing of invalid charset while detecting content encoding. (#2549)

  • Add optional configurable per message compression for ClientWebSocketResponse and WebSocketResponse. (#2551)

  • Add hysteresis to StreamReader to prevent flipping between paused and resumed states too often. (#2555)

  • Support .netrc by trust_env (#2581)

  • Avoid to create a new resource when adding a route with the same name and path of the last added resource (#2586)

  • MultipartWriter.boundary is str now. (#2589)

  • Allow a custom port to be used by TestServer (and associated pytest fixtures) (#2613)

  • Add param access_log_class to web.run_app function (#2615)

  • Add ssl parameter to client API (#2626)

  • Fixes performance issue introduced by #2577. When there are no middlewares installed by the user, no additional and useless code is executed. (#2629)

  • Rename PayloadWriter to StreamWriter (#2654)

  • New options reuse_port, reuse_address are added to run_app and TCPSite. (#2679)

  • Use custom classes to pass client signals parameters (#2686)

  • Use attrs library for data classes, replace namedtuple. (#2690)

  • Pytest fixtures renaming, add aiohttp_ prefix (#2578)

  • Add aiohttp- prefix for pytest-aiohttp command line parameters (#2578)

Bugfixes

  • Correctly process upgrade request from server to HTTP2. aiohttp does not support HTTP2 yet, the protocol is not upgraded but response is handled correctly. (#2277)

  • Fix ClientConnectorSSLError and ClientProxyConnectionError for proxy connector (#2408)

  • Fix connector convert OSError to ClientConnectorError (#2423)

  • Fix connection attempts for multiple dns hosts (#2424)

  • Small improvement docs: better example for file uploads. (#2401)

  • Rename from_env to trust_env in client reference. (#2451)

  • Fixed mistype in Proxy Support section where trust_env parameter was used in session.get(“http://python.org”, trust_env=True) method instead of aiohttp.ClientSession constructor as follows: aiohttp.ClientSession(trust_env=True). (#2688)

  • Fix issue with unittest example not compiling in testing docs. (#2717)

Deprecations and Removals

  • Simplify HTTP pipelining implementation (#2109)

  • Drop StreamReaderPayload and DataQueuePayload. (#2257)

  • Drop md5 and sha1 finger-prints (#2267)

  • Drop WSMessage.tp (#2321)

  • Drop Python 3.4 and Python 3.5.0, 3.5.1, 3.5.2. Minimal supported Python versions are 3.5.3 and 3.6.0. yield from is gone, use async/await syntax. (#2343)

  • Drop aiohttp.Timeout and use async_timeout.timeout instead. (#2348)

  • Drop resolve param from TCPConnector. (#2377)

  • Add DeprecationWarning for returning HTTPException (#2415)

  • Drop undocumented app.on_pre_signal and app.on_post_signal. Signal handlers should be coroutines, support for regular functions is dropped. (#2480)

  • StreamResponse.drain() is not a part of public API anymore, just use await StreamResponse.write(). StreamResponse.write is converted to async function. (#2483)

  • Drop deprecated slow_request_timeout param and **kwargs` from RequestHandler. (#2500)

  • Drop deprecated resource.url(). (#2501)

  • Remove %u and %l format specifiers from access log format. (#2506)
