Fast implementation of asyncio event loop on top of libuv

Project description

https://travis-ci.org/MagicStack/uvloop.svg?branch=master https://img.shields.io/pypi/status/uvloop.svg?maxAge=2592000?style=plastic

uvloop is a fast, drop-in replacement of the built-in asyncio event loop. uvloop is implemented in Cython and uses libuv under the hood.

Installation

uvloop is available on PyPI, so you can simply use pip:

$ pip install uvloop

Using uvloop

To make asyncio use uvloop, you can install the uvloop event loop policy:

import asyncio
import uvloop
asyncio.set_event_loop_policy(uvloop.EventLoopPolicy())

Or, alternatively, you can create an instance of the loop manually, using:

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

Development of uvloop

To build uvloop, you’ll need Cython and Python 3.5. The best way is to create a virtual env, so that you’ll have cython and python commands pointing to the correct tools.

  1. git clone --recursive git@github.com:MagicStack/uvloop.git

  2. cd uvloop

  3. make

  4. make test
