<h1>Extending<a class="headerlink" href="#extending" title="Link to this heading"></a></h1>
<p>The main direction for <a class="reference internal" href="asyncio.html#module-asyncio" title="asyncio: Asynchronous I/O."><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">asyncio</span></code></a> extending is writing custom <em>event loop</em>
classes. Asyncio has helpers that could be used to simplify this task.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>Third-parties should reuse existing asyncio code with caution,
a new Python version is free to break backward compatibility
in <em>internal</em> part of API.</p>
</div>
<section id="writing-a-custom-event-loop">
<h2>Writing a Custom Event Loop<a class="headerlink" href="#writing-a-custom-event-loop" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p><a class="reference internal" href="asyncio-eventloop.html#asyncio.AbstractEventLoop" title="asyncio.AbstractEventLoop"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">asyncio.AbstractEventLoop</span></code></a> declares very many methods. Implementing all them
from scratch is a tedious job.</p>
<p>A loop can get many common methods implementation for free by inheriting from
<code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">asyncio.BaseEventLoop</span></code>.</p>
<p>In turn, the successor should implement a bunch of <em>private</em> methods declared but not
implemented in <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">asyncio.BaseEventLoop</span></code>.</p>
<p>For example, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">loop.create_connection()</span></code> checks arguments, resolves DNS addresses, and
calls <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">loop._make_socket_transport()</span></code> that should be implemented by inherited class.
The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">_make_socket_transport()</span></code> method is not documented and is considered as an
<em>internal</em> API.</p>
