*Async wrappers for standard Python io streams.*
Example Usage
=============
For simple use cases this package provides the same high level utilities as
the Python `io` module:
.. code-block:: python
import apyio
string_buff = apyio.StringIO()
bytes_buff = apyio.BytesIO()
file_handle = apyio.open('somefile.txt', 'r')
The `write`, `writelines`, and `close` methods are left as normal functions
just as they are for the asyncio streams. However, any function which might
result in a read operation, such as `read`, `readline`, `readlines`, `read1`,
`seek`, `tell`, and `truncate`, are now `async def` functions that must be
`await`ed.
.. code-block:: python
import apyio
async with apyio.open('somefile.txt', 'w') as file_handle:
file_handle.write('some data')
await file_handle.drain() # Same as flush().
async with apyio.open('somefile.txt', 'r') as file_handle:
data = await file_handle.read()
print(data)
file_handle = apyio.open('somefile.txt', 'r')
async for line in file_handle:
print(line)
For more advanced use cases, this package also contains async wrappers for all
classes defined in the Python `io` module. The wrappers are named using the
pattern `Async<>Wrapper`. For example, `BufferedReader` becomes
`AsyncBufferedReaderWrapper` and `FileIO` becomes `AsyncFileIOWrapper`. All
wrapper classes accept one argument in the constructor which must be the
original, synchronous stream.
.. code-block:: python
import io
import apyio
sync_stream = io.FileIO('somefile.txt', 'r')
async_stream = apyio.AsyncFileIOWrapper(sync_stream)
print(sync_stream.readline())
print((await async_stream.readline()))
If a file was opened using the built-in `open()` function it may not be an
instance of `io.FileIO`. Depending on the options given to `open()` different
kinds of streams may be returned. To help with wrapping arbitrary `open()`
return values use the `apyio.wrap_file()` helper.
.. code-block:: python
import apyio
file_handle = open('somefile.bin', 'r+b')
async_handle = apyio.wrap_file(file_handle)
Testing
=======
All tests are stored in the '/tests' subdirectory. All tests are expected to
pass for Python 3.5 and above. To run tests create a virtualenv and install
the test-requirements.txt list. After that using the `tox` command will launch
the test suite.

Contributing
============
Firstly, if you're putting in a patch then thank you! Here are some tips for
getting your patch merged:
Style
-----
As long as the code passes the PEP8 and PyFlakes gates then the style is
acceptable.
Docs
----
The PEP257 gate will check that all public methods have docstrings. If you're
adding additional wrappers from the `io` module try to preserve the original
docstrings if possible. If you're adding something new, like a helper function,
try out the
`napoleon style of docstrings <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/sphinxcontrib-napoleon>`_.
Tests
-----
Make sure the patch passes all the tests. If you're adding a new feature don't
forget to throw in a test or two. If you're fixing a bug then definitely add
at least one test to prevent regressions.
