Installation
pip install catiox
Qucik example
import catiox
catiox.catiox_init(5)
def on_success(data):
print(data)
reader = catiox.catiox_async_read()
reader.async_readfile("./", "config.conf",
catiox.read_type.catiox_read_kv,
on_io_failed=print,
on_io_success=on_success
)
import time
time.sleep(0.5)
Teachincal details
CatioX is powered by Catio, a high-performance C++ library featuring:
Async I/O - Non-blocking file operations
Thread Pool - Efficient task scheduling
Event Loop - Based on poll() system call High Performance - Direct file I/O with minimal overhead
KV Parser - Built-in key-value config parsing
Thread-safe - Mutex-protected shared data
Architecture
Python Code → pybind11 → C++ catio → Thread Pool → File I/O → Callback → Python
C++ 20 standard
RAII resource management
Smart pointers for memory safety
Move semantics for zero-copy operations
