Read write lock for asyncio.

Project description

https://travis-ci.org/aio-libs/aiorwlock.svg?branch=master https://coveralls.io/repos/jettify/aiorwlock/badge.png?branch=master

Read write lock for asyncio . A RWLock maintains a pair of associated locks, one for read-only operations and one for writing. The read lock may be held simultaneously by multiple reader tasks, so long as there are no writers. The write lock is exclusive.

Whether or not a read-write lock will improve performance over the use of a mutual exclusion lock depends on the frequency that the data is read compared to being modified. For example, a collection that is initially populated with data and thereafter infrequently modified, while being frequently searched is an ideal candidate for the use of a read-write lock. However, if updates become frequent then the data spends most of its time being exclusively locked and there is little, if any increase in concurrency.

Implementation almost direct port from this patch.

Example

import asyncio
import aiorwlock
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()


@asyncio.coroutine
def go():
    rwlock = aiorwlock.RWLock(loop=loop)
    with (yield from rwlock.writer_lock):
        # or same way you can acquire reader lock
        # with (yield from rwlock.reader_lock): pass
        print("inside writer_lock")
        yield from asyncio.sleep(0.1, loop=loop)

loop.run_until_complete(go())
