An async stream processing microframework for Python

Introduction

Slurry builds on the concepts of structured concurrency and memory channels, originating in Trio, and uses them to create a microframework for processing streaming data.

The basic building blocks of Slurry includes:

  • Pipelines - An asynchronous context manager which encapsulates a stream process.

  • Sections - The individual processing steps.

  • Taps - Output channels for the processed stream.

  • Extensions - A way to add more processing steps to an existing pipeline.

Slurry avoids using asynchronous generator functions, in favor of the pull-push programming style of memory channels. It can be thought of as an asynchronous version of itertools - on steroids!

Included in the basic library are a number of basic stream processing building blocks, like Map, Chain, Merge and Zip, and it is easy to build your own!

Demonstration

Enough talk! Time to see what’s up!

async with Pipeline.create(
     Zip(produce_increasing_integers(1, max=3), produce_alphabet(0.9, max=3))
 ) as pipeline, pipeline.tap() as aiter:
         results = []
         async for item in aiter:
             results.append(item)
         assert results == [(0,'a'), (1, 'b'), (2, 'c')]

The example producers (which are not part of the framework) could look like this:

async def produce_increasing_integers(interval, *, max=3):
   for i in range(max):
      yield i
      if i == max-1:
            break
      await trio.sleep(interval)

async def produce_alphabet(interval, *, max=3):
   for i, c in enumerate(string.ascii_lowercase):
      yield c
      if i == max - 1:
            break
      await trio.sleep(interval)

Further documentation is available on readthedocs. Check out the source code on github.

Installation

Still here? Wanna try it out yourself? Install from PyPI:

pip install slurry

Slurry is tested on Python 3.6 or greater. For now, Slurry is Trio only. AnyIO support is not ruled out in the future.

License
