asynctor

Some async functions that using anyio, and toolkit for excel read.

Usage

• Async function that compare asyncio but use anyio: bulk_gather/gather/run

>>> import asynctor
>>> async def foo():
...     return 1
...
>>> await asynctor.bulk_gather([foo(), foo()], limit=200)
(1, 1)
>>> await asynctor.gather(foo(), foo())
(1, 1)
>>> asynctor.run(gather(foo(), foo()))
(1, 1)

• run_async: start a new thread to run async function and get result of it

>>> from asynctor import run_async
>>> async def foo(a=1):
...     return a
...
>>> run_async(foo) == run_async(foo()) == run_async(foo, 1) == 1
True

• timeit/Timer

>>> import time
>>> import anyio
>>> from asynctor import timeit
>>> @timeit
... async def sleep_test():
...     await anyio.sleep(3)
...
>>> await sleep()
sleep_test Cost: 3.0 seconds

>>> @timeit
... def sleep_test2():
...     time.sleep(3.1)
...
>>> sleep_test2()
sleep_test2 Cost: 3.1 seconds
>>> with timeit('Sleeping'):
...     sleep()
...
Sleeping Cost: 3.0 seconds
>>> from loguru import logger
>>> with Timer('doing sth', verbose=False) as t:
...     time.sleep(0.222)
...
>>> logger.debug(t)
2026-06-10 12:07:55.658 | DEBUG    | __main__:<module>:1 - doing sth Cost: 0.2 seconds
>>> Timer.beijing_now()
datetime.datetime(2026, 6, 10, 12, 9, 1, 577094, tzinfo=asynctor.timing.ZoneInfo(key='Asia/Shanghai'))

• AioRedis

pip install "asynctor[redis]"

from asynctor.contrib.fastapi import AioRedisDep, register_aioredis
from fastapi import FastAPI

app = FastAPI()
register_aioredis(app)

@app.get('/')
async def root(redis: AioRedisDep) -> list[str]:
    return await redis.keys()

@app.get('/redis')
async def get_value_from_redis_by_key(redis: AioRedisDep, key: str) -> str:
    value = await redis.get(key)
    if not value:
        return ''
    return value.decode()

• Async Test Fixtures

pip install "asynctor[testing]"

import pytest
from asynctor.testing import anyio_backend_fixture, async_client_fixture
from httpx import AsyncClient

from main import app

anyio_backend = anyio_backend_fixture()
client = async_client_fixture(app)

@pytest.mark.anyio
async def test_api(client: AsyncClient):
    response = await client.get("/")
    assert response.status_code == 200

• runserver for fastapi projects

pip install asynctor fastapi uvicorn

from fastapi import FastAPI

app = FastAPI()


def main() -> None:
    from asynctor.contrib.fastapi import runserver

    runserver(app)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

• Read Excel File

pandas/openpyxl is required, can be installed with xlsx extra: pip install "asynctor[xlsx]"

>>> from asynctor.xlsx import load_xlsx
>>> await load_xlsx('tests/demo.xlsx')
[{'Column1': 'row1-\\t%c', 'Column2\nMultiLines': 0, 'Column 3': 1, 4: ''}, {'Column1': 'r2c1\n00', 'Column2\nMultiLines': 'r2 c2', 'Column 3': 2, 4: ''}]

• json

Auto use orjson if it's installed, fallback to standard json module.

>>> from asynctor.jsons import json_dump_bytes
>>> json_dump_bytes({'a': 1})
b'{"a":1}'
>>> json_dump_bytes({'a': 1}, pretty=True)
b'{\n  "a": 1\n}'

• utils

1. load_bool

>>> from asynctor.utils import load_bool
>>> load_bool('NOT_EXIST')
False
>>> import os
>>> os.environ['MY_ENV'] = '0'
>>> load_bool('MY_ENV')
False
>>> os.environ['MY_ENV'] = '1'
>>> load_bool('MY_ENV')
True

2. ExtendSyspath

>>> import conftest
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<python-input-0>", line 1, in <module>
    import conftest
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'conftest'
>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> from asynctor.utils import ExtendSyspath
>>> with ExtendSyspath('tests'):
...     import conftest
...
>>> Path(conftest.__file__).relative_to(Path.cwd()).as_posix()
'tests/conftest.py'
