I have few blocking functions foo, bar and I can’t change those (Some internal library I don’t control. Talks to one or more network services). How do I use it as async?. E.g. I wan’t to do the following.
asyncio.gather and asyncio.wait seem to have similar uses: I have a bunch of async things that I want to execute/wait for (not necessarily waiting for one to finish before the next one starts). They use a different syntax, and differ in some details, but it seems very un-pythonic to me to have 2 functions that have such a huge overlap in functionality. What am I missing?
I am trying to send 100 requests at a time to a server http://httpbin.org/uuid using the following code snippet
I’ve read many examples, blog posts, questions/answers about asyncio / async / await in Python 3.5+, many were complex, the simplest I found was probably this one.
Still it uses ensure_future, and for learning purposes about asynchronous programming in Python, I would like to see an even more minimal example, and what are the minimal tools necessary to do a basic async / await example.
In asynchronous JavaScript, it is easy to run tasks in parallel and wait for all of them to complete using Promise.all:
