Asyncio event loop written in Rust language
async-tokio is a drop-in replacement of the built-in asyncio event loop. async-tokio is implemented in rust and uses tokio-rs under the hood and PyO3 python binding <https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3>
_.
You can create an instance of the loop manually, using:
.. code:: python
import tokio
policy = tokio.EventLoopPolicy()
asyncio.set_event_loop_policy(policy)
To build tokio loop, you'll need rust nightly
and Python 3.6. The best way
is to create a virtual env, so that you'll have python
commands pointing to the correct tools.
git clone [email protected]:PyO3/tokio.git
cd tokio
make build
make test
At the moment async-tokio works on unix like systems only. Supported api:
UDP support is missing.
async-tokio
is offered under the Apache 2.0 licenses.
