Python interface for libuv

Project description

pyuv is a Python module which provides an interface to libuv. libuv (http://github.com/joyent/libuv) is a high performance asynchronous networking library, used as the platform layer for NodeJS (http://nodejs.org).

libuv is written and maintained by Joyent Inc. and contributors. It’s built on top of libev and libeio on Unix and IOCP on Windows systems providing a consistent API on top of them.

pyuv’s features:

  • Non-blocking TCP sockets

  • Non-blocking named pipes

  • UDP support (including multicast)

  • Timers

  • Child process spawning

  • Asynchronous DNS resolver

  • Asynchronous file system APIs

  • High resolution time

  • System memory information

  • System CPUs information

  • Network interfaces information

  • Thread pool scheduling

  • ANSI escape code controlled TTY

  • File system events (inotify style)

  • IPC and TCP socket sharing between processes

  • Arbitrary file descriptor polling

Building

Linux:

./build_inplace

Mac OSX:

(XCode needs to be installed)
export CC="gcc -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk"
export ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64"
./build_inplace

Microsoft Windows:

(MinGW and MSYS need to be installed)
./build_inplace --compiler=mingw32

Running the test suite

There are several ways of running the test ruite:

  • Running individual tests:

Go inside the tests/ directory and run the test, for example: python test_tcp.py

  • Run the test with the current Python interpreter:

From the toplevel directory, run: nosetests -v -w tests/

  • Use Tox to run the test suite in several virtualenvs with several interpreters

From the toplevel directory, run: tox -e py26,py27,py32 this will run the test suite on Python 2.6, 2.7 and 3.2 (you’ll need to have them installed beforehand)
