http client/server for asyncio
Project description
http client/server for asyncio
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 async def fetch(session, url): with aiohttp.Timeout(10): async with session.get(url) as response: return await response.text() if __name__ == '__main__': loop = asyncio.get_event_loop() with aiohttp.ClientSession(loop=loop) as session: html = loop.run_until_complete( fetch(session, 'http://python.org')) print(html)
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(body=text.encode('utf-8')) async def wshandler(request): ws = web.WebSocketResponse() await ws.prepare(request) async for msg in ws: if msg.tp == web.MsgType.text: ws.send_str("Hello, {}".format(msg.data)) elif msg.tp == web.MsgType.binary: ws.send_bytes(msg.data) elif msg.tp == web.MsgType.close: break return ws app = web.Application() app.router.add_route('GET', '/echo', wshandler) app.router.add_route('GET', '/{name}', handle) web.run_app(app)
Note: examples are written for Python 3.5+ and utilize PEP-492 aka async/await. If you are using Python 3.4 please replace await with yield from and async def with @coroutine e.g.:
async def coro(...): ret = await f()
shoud be replaced by:
@asyncio.coroutine def coro(...): ret = yield from f()
