toro 0.4

About

A set of locking and synchronizing primitives analogous to those in Python’s threading module or Gevent’s coros, for use with Tornado’s gen.engine.

Dependencies

Tornado >= version 2.3.

Examples

Here’s a basic example (for more see the examples section of the docs):

from tornado import ioloop, gen
import toro

q = toro.JoinableQueue(maxsize=3)

@gen.engine
def consumer():
    while True:
        item = yield gen.Task(q.get)
        try:
            print 'Doing work on', item
        finally:
            q.task_done()

@gen.engine
def producer():
    for item in range(10):
        yield gen.Task(q.put, item)

producer()
consumer()
loop = ioloop.IOLoop.instance()
q.join(callback=loop.stop) # block until all tasks are done
loop.start()
