<p>Asynchronous programming is different from classic “sequential”

<section id="debug-mode">
|
||
<span id="asyncio-debug-mode"></span><h2>Debug Mode<a class="headerlink" href="#debug-mode" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h2>
|
||
<p>By default asyncio runs in production mode. In order to ease
|
||
the development asyncio has a <em>debug mode</em>.</p>
|
||
<p>There are several ways to enable asyncio debug mode:</p>
|
||
<ul class="simple">
|
||
<li><p>Setting the <span class="target" id="index-0"></span><a class="reference internal" href="../using/cmdline.html#envvar-PYTHONASYNCIODEBUG"><code class="xref std std-envvar docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PYTHONASYNCIODEBUG</span></code></a> environment variable to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">1</span></code>.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Using the <a class="reference internal" href="devmode.html#devmode"><span class="std std-ref">Python Development Mode</span></a>.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Passing <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">debug=True</span></code> to <a class="reference internal" href="asyncio-runner.html#asyncio.run" title="asyncio.run"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">asyncio.run()</span></code></a>.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Calling <a class="reference internal" href="asyncio-eventloop.html#asyncio.loop.set_debug" title="asyncio.loop.set_debug"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">loop.set_debug()</span></code></a>.</p></li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>In addition to enabling the debug mode, consider also:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p>setting the log level of the <a class="reference internal" href="#asyncio-logger"><span class="std std-ref">asyncio logger</span></a> to
|
||
<a class="reference internal" href="logging.html#logging.DEBUG" title="logging.DEBUG"><code class="xref py py-const docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">logging.DEBUG</span></code></a>, for example the following snippet of code
|
||
can be run at startup of the application:</p>
|
||
<div class="highlight-python3 notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">logging</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">basicConfig</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">level</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="n">logging</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">DEBUG</span><span class="p">)</span>
|
||
</pre></div>
|
||
</div>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li><p>configuring the <a class="reference internal" href="warnings.html#module-warnings" title="warnings: Issue warning messages and control their disposition."><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">warnings</span></code></a> module to display
|
||
<a class="reference internal" href="exceptions.html#ResourceWarning" title="ResourceWarning"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ResourceWarning</span></code></a> warnings. One way of doing that is by
|
||
using the <a class="reference internal" href="../using/cmdline.html#cmdoption-W"><code class="xref std std-option docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-W</span></code></a> <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">default</span></code> command line option.</p></li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>When the debug mode is enabled:</p>
|
||
<ul class="simple">
|
||
<li><p>asyncio checks for <a class="reference internal" href="#asyncio-coroutine-not-scheduled"><span class="std std-ref">coroutines that were not awaited</span></a> and logs them; this mitigates
|
||
the “forgotten await” pitfall.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Many non-threadsafe asyncio APIs (such as <a class="reference internal" href="asyncio-eventloop.html#asyncio.loop.call_soon" title="asyncio.loop.call_soon"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">loop.call_soon()</span></code></a> and
|
||
<a class="reference internal" href="asyncio-eventloop.html#asyncio.loop.call_at" title="asyncio.loop.call_at"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">loop.call_at()</span></code></a> methods) raise an exception if they are called
|
||
from a wrong thread.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>The execution time of the I/O selector is logged if it takes too long to
|
||
perform an I/O operation.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Callbacks taking longer than 100 milliseconds are logged. The
|
||
<a class="reference internal" href="asyncio-eventloop.html#asyncio.loop.slow_callback_duration" title="asyncio.loop.slow_callback_duration"><code class="xref py py-attr docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">loop.slow_callback_duration</span></code></a> attribute can be used to set the
|
||
minimum execution duration in seconds that is considered “slow”.</p></li>
|
||
</ul>

<span id="asyncio-multithreading"></span><h2>Concurrency and Multithreading<a class="headerlink" href="#concurrency-and-multithreading" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h2>
|
||
<p>An event loop runs in a thread (typically the main thread) and executes
|
||
all callbacks and Tasks in its thread. While a Task is running in the
|
||
event loop, no other Tasks can run in the same thread. When a Task
|
||
executes an <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">await</span></code> expression, the running Task gets suspended, and
|
||
the event loop executes the next Task.</p>
|
||
<p>To schedule a <a class="reference internal" href="../glossary.html#term-callback"><span class="xref std std-term">callback</span></a> from another OS thread, the
|
||
<a class="reference internal" href="asyncio-eventloop.html#asyncio.loop.call_soon_threadsafe" title="asyncio.loop.call_soon_threadsafe"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">loop.call_soon_threadsafe()</span></code></a> method should be used. Example:</p>
|
||
<div class="highlight-python3 notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">loop</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">call_soon_threadsafe</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">callback</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="o">*</span><span class="n">args</span><span class="p">)</span>
|
||
</pre></div>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>Almost all asyncio objects are not thread safe, which is typically
|
||
not a problem unless there is code that works with them from outside
|
||
of a Task or a callback. If there’s a need for such code to call a
|
||
low-level asyncio API, the <a class="reference internal" href="asyncio-eventloop.html#asyncio.loop.call_soon_threadsafe" title="asyncio.loop.call_soon_threadsafe"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">loop.call_soon_threadsafe()</span></code></a> method
|
||
should be used, e.g.:</p>
|
||
<div class="highlight-python3 notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">loop</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">call_soon_threadsafe</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">fut</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">cancel</span><span class="p">)</span>
|
||
</pre></div>
|

</div>
|

<p>To schedule a coroutine object from a different OS thread, the

<a class="reference internal" href="asyncio-task.html#asyncio.run_coroutine_threadsafe" title="asyncio.run_coroutine_threadsafe"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">run_coroutine_threadsafe()</span></code></a> function should be used. It returns a
|
||
<a class="reference internal" href="concurrent.futures.html#concurrent.futures.Future" title="concurrent.futures.Future"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">concurrent.futures.Future</span></code></a> to access the result:</p>

<div class="highlight-python3 notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">async</span> <span class="k">def</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="nf">coro_func</span><span class="p">():</span>

|

|

</pre></div>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>To handle signals the event loop must be
|
||
run in the main thread.</p>
|
||
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="asyncio-eventloop.html#asyncio.loop.run_in_executor" title="asyncio.loop.run_in_executor"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">loop.run_in_executor()</span></code></a> method can be used with a

<a class="reference internal" href="concurrent.futures.html#concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor" title="concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor</span></code></a> to execute
|
||
blocking code in a different OS thread without blocking the OS thread
|
||
that the event loop runs in.</p>
|
||
<p>There is currently no way to schedule coroutines or callbacks directly
|
||
from a different process (such as one started with
|
||
<a class="reference internal" href="multiprocessing.html#module-multiprocessing" title="multiprocessing: Process-based parallelism."><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">multiprocessing</span></code></a>). The <a class="reference internal" href="asyncio-eventloop.html#asyncio-event-loop-methods"><span class="std std-ref">Event Loop Methods</span></a>
|
||
section lists APIs that can read from pipes and watch file descriptors
|
||
without blocking the event loop. In addition, asyncio’s
|
||
<a class="reference internal" href="asyncio-subprocess.html#asyncio-subprocess"><span class="std std-ref">Subprocess</span></a> APIs provide a way to start a
|
||
process and communicate with it from the event loop. Lastly, the
|
||
aforementioned <a class="reference internal" href="asyncio-eventloop.html#asyncio.loop.run_in_executor" title="asyncio.loop.run_in_executor"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">loop.run_in_executor()</span></code></a> method can also be used

<p>Blocking (CPU-bound) code should not be called directly. For example,
|
||
if a function performs a CPU-intensive calculation for 1 second,
|
||
all concurrent asyncio Tasks and IO operations would be delayed
|
||
by 1 second.</p>
|
||
<p>An executor can be used to run a task in a different thread or even in
|
||
a different process to avoid blocking the OS thread with the
|
||
event loop. See the <a class="reference internal" href="asyncio-eventloop.html#asyncio.loop.run_in_executor" title="asyncio.loop.run_in_executor"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">loop.run_in_executor()</span></code></a> method for more
|

details.</p>

<p>Network logging can block the event loop. It is recommended to use

a separate thread for handling logs or use non-blocking IO. For example,
