Installation

Installing from pypi:

pip3 install aiomisc

Installing from github.com:

pip3 install git+https://github.com/mosquito/aiomisc.git

Quick Start

Async entrypoint with logging and useful arguments:

import argparse
import asyncio
import os
import logging

from aiomisc.entrypoint import entrypoint, LogFormat


parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()

parser.add_argument(
    "-L", "--log-level", help="Log level",
    default=os.getenv('LOG_LEVEL', 'info'),
    choices=(
        'critical', 'fatal', 'error', 'warning',
        'warn', 'info', 'debug', 'notset'
    ),
)

parser.add_argument(
    "--log-format", help="Log format",
    default=os.getenv('LOG_FORMAT', 'color'),
    choices=LogFormat.choices(),
    metavar='LOG_FORMAT',
)

parser.add_argument(
    "-D", "--debug", action='store_true',
    help="Run loop and application in debug mode"
)


parser.add_argument(
    "--pool-size", help="Thread pool size",
    default=os.getenv('THREAD_POOL'), type=int,
)


log = logging.getLogger(__name__)


async def main():
    log.info('Starting')
    await asyncio.sleep(3)
    log.info('Exiting')


if __name__ == '__main__':
    arg = parser.parse_args()

    with entrypoint(log_level=arg.log_level,
                    log_format=arg.log_format) as loop:
        loop.run_until_complete(main())

Install event loop on program start:

import asyncio
from aiomisc.utils import new_event_loop


# Installing uvloop event loop
# and set `aiomisc.thread_pool.ThreadPoolExecutor`
# as default executor
new_event_loop()


async def main():
    await asyncio.sleep(3)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    loop.run_until_complete(main())

Close current event loop and install a new one:

import asyncio
from aiomisc.utils import new_event_loop


async def main():
    await asyncio.sleep(3)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    loop = new_event_loop()
    loop.run_until_complete(main())

Overview:

entrypoint

In generic case the entrypoint helper creates event loop and cancels already running coroutines on exit.

import asyncio
from aiomisc.entrypoint import entrypoint

async def main():
    await asyncio.sleep(1)

with entrypoint() as loop:
    loop.run_until_complete(main())

Services

Services are abstractions to help organize lots of different tasks in one process. Each service must implement start() method and can implement stop() method.

Service instance should be passed to the entrypoint, and will be started after event loop has been created.

Note

Current event-loop will be set before start() method called. The event loop will be set as current for this thread.

Please avoid using asyncio.get_event_loop() explicitly inside start() method. Use self.loop instead:

from aiomisc.service import Service
from aiomisc.entrypoint import entrypoint


class MyService(Service):
  async def start(self):
      await asyncio.sleep(3600, loop=self.loop)


with entrypoint(MyService()) as loop:
    loop.run_forever()

Method start() creates as a separate task that can run forever. Anyway, during graceful shutdown method stop() will be called first, and after that all running tasks will be cancelled (including start()).

This package contains some useful base classes for simple services writing.

TCPServer

TCPServer - it’s a base class for writing TCP servers. Just implement handle_client(reader, writer) to use it.

class EchoServer(TCPServer):
    async def handle_client(self, reader: asyncio.StreamReader,
                            writer: asyncio.StreamWriter):
        while True:
            writer.write(await reader.readline())


with entrypoint(EchoServer(address='::1', port=8901)) as loop:
    loop.run_forever()

UDPServer

UDPServer - it’s a base class for writing UDP servers. Just implement handle_datagram(data, addr) to use it.

class UDPPrinter(UDPServer):
    async def handle_datagram(self, data: bytes, addr):
        print(addr, '->', data)


with entrypoint(UDPPrinter(address='::1', port=3000)) as loop:
    loop.run_forever()

TLSServer

TLSServer - it’s a base class for writing TCP servers with TLS. Just implement handle_client(reader, writer) to use it.

class SecureEchoServer(TLSServer):
    async def handle_client(self, reader: asyncio.StreamReader,
                            writer: asyncio.StreamWriter):
        while True:
            writer.write(await reader.readline())

service = SecureEchoServer(
    address='::1',
    port=8900,
    ca='ca.pem',
    cert='cert.pem',
    key='key.pem',
    verify=False,
)

with entrypoint(service) as loop:
    loop.run_forever()

Multiple services

Pass several service instances to the entrypoint to run all of them. After exiting the entrypoint service instances will be gracefully shut down.

import asyncio
from aiomisc.entrypoint import entrypoint
from aiomisc.service import Service, TCPServer, UDPServer


class LoggingService(Service):
    async def start(self):
        while True:
            print('Hello from service', self.name)
            await asyncio.sleep(1)


class EchoServer(TCPServer):
    async def handle_client(self, reader: asyncio.StreamReader,
                            writer: asyncio.StreamWriter):
        while True:
            writer.write(await reader.readline())


class UDPPrinter(UDPServer):
    async def handle_datagram(self, data: bytes, addr):
        print(addr, '->', data)


services = (
    LoggingService(name='#1'),
    EchoServer(address='::1', port=8901),
    UDPPrinter(address='::1', port=3000),
)


with entrypoint(*services) as loop:
    loop.run_forever()

Configuration

Service metaclass accepts all kwargs and will set it to self as attributes.

import asyncio
from aiomisc.entrypoint import entrypoint
from aiomisc.service import Service, TCPServer, UDPServer


class LoggingService(Service):
    # required kwargs
    __required__ = frozenset({'name'})

    # default value
    delay: int = 1

    async def start(self):
        while True:
            # attribute ``name`` from kwargs
            # must be defined when instance initializes
            print('Hello from service', self.name)

            # attribute ``delay`` from kwargs
            await asyncio.sleep(self.delay)

services = (
    LoggingService(name='#1'),
    LoggingService(name='#2', delay=3),
)


with entrypoint(*services) as loop:
    loop.run_forever()

Context

Services can require each others data. In this case you should use Context.

Context is a repository associated with the running entrypoint.

Context-object will be created when entrypoint starts and linked to the running event loop.

Cross dependent services might await or set each others data via the context.

For service instances self.context is available since entrypoint started. In other cases get_context() function returns current context.

import asyncio
from random import random, randint

from aiomisc.entrypoint import entrypoint, get_context
from aiomisc.service import Service


class LoggingService(Service):
    async def start(self):
        context = get_context()

        wait_time = await context['wait_time']

        print('Wait time is', wait_time)
        while True:
            print('Hello from service', self.name)
            await asyncio.sleep(wait_time)


class RemoteConfiguration(Service):
    async def start(self):
        # querying from remote server
        await asyncio.sleep(random())

        self.context['wait_time'] = randint(1, 5)


services = (
    LoggingService(name='#1'),
    LoggingService(name='#2'),
    LoggingService(name='#3'),
    RemoteConfiguration()
)

with entrypoint(*services) as loop:
    loop.run_forever()

Note

It’s not a silver bullet. In base case services can be configured by passing kwargs to the service __init__ method.

aiohttp service

Warning

requires installed aiohttp:

pip install aiohttp

or using extras:

pip install aiomisc[aiohttp]

aiohttp application can be started as a service:

import aiohttp.web
import argparse
from aiomisc.entrypoint import entrypoint
from aiomisc.service.aiohttp import AIOHTTPService

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
group = parser.add_argument_group('HTTP options')

group.add_argument("-l", "--address", default="::",
                   help="Listen HTTP address")
group.add_argument("-p", "--port", type=int, default=8080,
                   help="Listen HTTP port")


async def handle(request):
    name = request.match_info.get('name', "Anonymous")
    text = "Hello, " + name
    return aiohttp.web.Response(text=text)


class REST(AIOHTTPService):
    async def create_application(self):
        app = aiohttp.web.Application()

        app.add_routes([
            aiohttp.web.get('/', handle),
            aiohttp.web.get('/{name}', handle)
        ])

        return app

arguments = parser.parse_args()
service = REST(address=arguments.address, port=arguments.port)

with entrypoint(service) as loop:
    loop.run_forever()

Class AIOHTTPSSLService is similar to AIOHTTPService but creates HTTPS server. You must pass SSL-required options (see TLSServer class).

Memory Tracer

Simple and useful service for logging large python objects allocated in memory.

import asyncio
import os
from aiomisc.entrypoint import entrypoint
from aiomisc.service import MemoryTracer


async def main():
    leaking = []

    while True:
        leaking.append(os.urandom(128))
        await asyncio.sleep(0)


with entrypoint(MemoryTracer(interval=1, top_results=5)) as loop:
    loop.run_until_complete(main())

Output example:

[T:[1] Thread Pool] INFO:aiomisc.service.tracer: Top memory usage:
 Objects | Obj.Diff |   Memory | Mem.Diff | Traceback
      12 |       12 |   1.9KiB |   1.9KiB | aiomisc/periodic.py:40

timeout decorator

Decorator that ensures the execution time limit for decorated function is met.

from aiomisc.timeout import timeout

@timeout(1)
async def bad_func():
    await asyncio.sleep(2)

Async backoff

Abstraction:

• attempt_timeout is maximum execution time for one execution attempt.

• deadline is maximum execution time for all execution attempts.

• pause is time gap between execution attempts.

Decorator that ensures that attempt_timeout and deadline time limits are met by decorated function.

In case of exception function will be called again with similar arguments after pause seconds.

from aiomisc.backoff import asyncbackoff

attempt_timeout = 0.1
deadline = 1
pause = 0.1

@asyncbackoff(attempt_timeout, deadline, pause)
async def db_fetch():
    ...


@asyncbackoff(0.1, 1, 0.1)
async def db_save(data: dict):
    ...

asynchronous file operations

Asynchronous files operations. Based on thread-pool under the hood.

from aiomisc.io import async_open


async def db_fetch():
    async with async_open('/tmp/test.txt', 'w+') as afp:
        await afp.write("Hello")
        await afp.write(" ")
        await afp.write("world")

        await afp.seek(0)
        print(await afp.read())

Threaded decorator

Wraps blocking function and runs it in the current thread pool.

import asyncio
import time
from aiomisc.utils import new_event_loop
from aiomisc.thread_pool import threaded


@threaded
def blocking_function():
    time.sleep(1)


async def main():
    # Running in parallel
    await asyncio.gather(
        blocking_function(),
        blocking_function(),
    )


if __name__ == '__main__':
    loop = new_event_loop()
    loop.run_until_complete(main())

Fast ThreadPoolExecutor

This is a simple thread pool implementation.

Setting as a default thread pool:

import asyncio
from aiomisc.thread_pool import ThreadPoolExecutor

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
thread_pool = ThreadPoolExecutor(4, loop=loop)
loop.set_default_executor(thread_pool)

Note

entrypoint context manager will set it by default.

entrypoint’s argument pool_size limits thread pool size.

Bind socket

Bind socket and set setblocking(False) for just created socket. This detects address format and select socket family automatically.

from aiomisc.utils import bind_socket

# IPv4 socket
sock = bind_socket(address="127.0.0.1", port=1234)

# IPv6 socket (on Linux IPv4 socket will be bind too)
sock = bind_socket(address="::1", port=1234)

Periodic callback

Runs coroutine function periodically.

import asyncio
import time
from aiomisc.utils import new_event_loop
from aiomisc.periodic import PeriodicCallback


async def periodic_function():
    print("Hello")


if __name__ == '__main__':
    loop = new_event_loop()

    periodic = PeriodicCallback(periodic_function)

    # Call it each second
    periodic.start(1)

    loop.run_forever()

Logging configuration

Color

Setting up colorized logs:

import logging
from aiomisc.log import basic_config


# Configure logging
basic_config(level=logging.INFO, buffered=False, log_format='color')

JSON

Setting up json logs:

import logging
from aiomisc.log import basic_config


# Configure logging
basic_config(level=logging.INFO, buffered=False, log_format='json')

Buffered log handler

Parameter buffered=True enables memory buffer that flushes logs in a thread.

import logging
from aiomisc.log import basic_config
from aiomisc.periodic import PeriodicCallback
from aiomisc.utils import new_event_loop


# Configure logging globally
basic_config(level=logging.INFO, buffered=False, log_format='json')

async def write_log(loop):
    logging.info("Hello %f", loop.time())

if __name__ == '__main__':
    loop = new_event_loop()

    # Configure
    basic_config(
        level=logging.INFO,
        buffered=True,
        log_format='color',
        flush_interval=2
    )

    periodic = PeriodicCallback(write_log, loop)
    periodic.start(0.3)

    loop.run_forever()

Note

entrypoint accepts log_format parameter for configure it.

List of all supported log formats is available from aiomisc.log.LogFormat.choices()
