Key Features

  • Supports both client and server side of HTTP protocol.

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

  • Provides Web-server with middlewares and pluggable routing.

Getting started

Client

To get something from the web:

import aiohttp
import asyncio

async def fetch(session, url):
    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

An example using a simple server:

# examples/server_simple.py
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 wshandle(request):
    ws = web.WebSocketResponse()
    await ws.prepare(request)

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

    return ws


app = web.Application()
app.add_routes([web.get('/', handle),
                web.get('/echo', wshandle),
                web.get('/{name}', handle)])

web.run_app(app)

3.4.0 (2018-08-25)

Features

  • Add type hints (#3049)

  • Add raise_for_status request parameter (#3073)

  • Add type hints to HTTP client (#3092)

  • Minor server optimizations (#3095)

  • Preserve the cause when HTTPException is raised from another exception. (#3096)

  • Add close_boundary option in MultipartWriter.write method. Support streaming (#3104)

Bugfixes

  • Prevent double closing when client connection is released before the last data_received() callback. (#3031)

  • Make redirect with normalize_path_middleware work when using url encoded paths. (#3051)

  • Postpone web task creation to connection establishment. (#3052)

  • Fix sock_read timeout. (#3053)

  • When using a server-request body as the data= argument of a client request, iterate over the content with readany instead of readline to avoid Line too long errors. (#3054)

  • Fix link to Rambler (#3115)

  • Fix TCPSite documentation on the Server Reference page. (#3146)

  • Fix documentation build configuration file for Windows. (#3147)

  • Remove no longer existing lingering_timeout parameter of Application.make_handler from documentation. (#3151)

  • Mention that app.make_handler is deprecated, recommend to use runners API instead. (#3157)

Deprecations and Removals

  • Drop loop.current_task() from helpers.current_task() (#2826)
