py_easy_async 0.1.2

Provides simple interface for threading to easy perform async actions

py_easy_async provides simple interface for threading to easy perform async actions in Python versions 3.4 and up

Example of simple async operations

import py_easy_async
import time

def print_with_sleep(word):
    time.sleep(1)
    print(word)
    return 'done'

print('first')
py_easy_async.async(lambda: print_with_sleep('second'),
                 lambda done_string: print("done callback called with string: %s" % done_string))
print('third')

The above example will print the following:

first
third
second
done callback called with string: done

Example of thread pool management

from py_easy_async import pool

def message_handler(message):
    print('got message:', message)

identifier = pool.run_thread(message_handler, name='Persistent-Thread')

for i in range(5):
    pool.message(identifier, "test message #%s" % i)

pool.stop_thread(identifier)

The above example will start thread that will wait for messages that it should process:

Persistent-Thread starting...

got message: test message #0
got message: test message #1
got message: test message #2
got message: test message #3
got message: test message #4

Persistent-Thread exiting...
