aiotools

Fixes

• Fix a potential memory leak with TaskGroup when it's used for long-lived asyncio tasks. (#21)

Features

• Add a current_taskgroup context-variable to the taskgroup module (only available for Python 3.7 or later)

Fixes

• Fix missing auto-import of taskgroup module exports in the aiotools root package.

The first 1.0.0 release.

Available modules:

• compat: compatibility functions for asyncio API changes, such as get_running_loop, current_task, all_tasks
• context: a polyfill for contextlib.asynccontextmanager introduced in Python 3.7 for Python 3.6
• defer: a Golang-like deferred function executor API
• func: provides async versions of lru_cache and partial
• iter: provides async version of iter
• server: a boilerplate reducer for writing scalable multi-process asyncio programs with ease, including all the gory details about signal handling and blocking
• taskgroup: a port from EdgeDB's taskgroup utility module, which might be included in the future Python stdlib, with some modification such as current_taskgroup context-variable support
• timer: a simple timer implementation using asyncio.sleep and a while loop, with a bonus class VirtualClock that instantly and deterministically skips over long sleeps during tests
