Hi List,
for everyone who wants to test their asyncio code on a
live system, I have written an extension to IPython
(here: https://github.com/tecki/ipython-yf )
which allows for the use of yield from on the command
line, while your event loop is running.
To give an example:
>>> %load_ext yf
>>> from asyncio import sleep, async
>>> def f():
... yield from sleep(3)
... print("done")
>>> yield from f()
[wait three seconds]
done
>>> async(f())
>>> [wait three seconds, or type other commands] done
So, as you see, the event loop is running while you are
typing commands, and while they are running. This is
especially interesting once you use a GUI at the same
time, like Qt, as it stays responsive while you're doing
stuff.
Greetings
Martin
