later 20.2.1

What is later?

later is a play on Async not happening now but at some point in the future. It was also an awesome name for a toolkit for writing AsyncIO applications. The batteries if you will for AsyncIO.

later offers the following functions:

• asyncio Event enhancements

  • BiDirectionalEvent - Back channel of information for the setter to ensure the waiter has called wait() a second time

• asyncio Task enhancements

  • Watcher - Watch tasks and ensure they don’t die - take action when they do

• asyncio Unittesting enhancements

  • TestCase - Use in place of IsolatedAsyncioTestCase for more wins

  • IsolatedAsyncioTestCase is backported for 3.7 users

later currently backports 3.8’s async_case + mock libraries for 3.7 users.
