pychanio 0.1.3

Go-style channels and select blocks for asyncio in Python.

pychanio

Go-style channels and select blocks for Python’s asyncio.

pychanio brings structured concurrency to Python, inspired by Go. It provides chan, select, go, and control signals like DONE and CANCEL.

✅ Features

• Full-duplex and directional channels
• Buffered and unbuffered behavior
• << and >> DSL syntax for send/receive
• Go-style select() block with timeout and default
• Background goroutines with go(fn)
• Built-in sentinels for clean signalling such as shutdown, heartbeat etc.
• Works with native asyncio

📦 Installation

pip install pychanio

🔁 Example

import asyncio
from pychanio import chan, go, close

async def producer(ch):
    for i in range(3):
        ch << i
    close(ch)

async def consumer(ch):
    async for val in ch:
        print(val)

async def main():
    ch = chan()
    go(producer, ch)
    await consumer(ch)

asyncio.run(main())
