.. currentmodule:: asyncio .. _asyncio-streams: ++++++++++++++++++++++++ Streams (high-level API) ++++++++++++++++++++++++ Stream functions ================ .. function:: open_connection(host=None, port=None, \*, loop=None, limit=None, **kwds) A wrapper for :meth:`~BaseEventLoop.create_connection()` returning a (reader, writer) pair. The reader returned is a :class:`StreamReader` instance; the writer is a :class:`StreamWriter` instance. The arguments are all the usual arguments to :meth:`BaseEventLoop.create_connection` except *protocol_factory*; most common are positional host and port, with various optional keyword arguments following. Additional optional keyword arguments are *loop* (to set the event loop instance to use) and *limit* (to set the buffer limit passed to the :class:`StreamReader`). (If you want to customize the :class:`StreamReader` and/or :class:`StreamReaderProtocol` classes, just copy the code -- there's really nothing special here except some convenience.) This function is a :ref:`coroutine `. .. function:: start_server(client_connected_cb, host=None, port=None, \*, loop=None, limit=None, **kwds) Start a socket server, with a callback for each client connected. The return value is the same as :meth:`~BaseEventLoop.create_server()`. The *client_connected_cb* parameter is called with two parameters: *client_reader*, *client_writer*. *client_reader* is a :class:`StreamReader` object, while *client_writer* is a :class:`StreamWriter` object. The *client_connected_cb* parameter can either be a plain callback function or a :ref:`coroutine function `; if it is a coroutine function, it will be automatically converted into a :class:`Task`. The rest of the arguments are all the usual arguments to :meth:`~BaseEventLoop.create_server()` except *protocol_factory*; most common are positional *host* and *port*, with various optional keyword arguments following. Additional optional keyword arguments are *loop* (to set the event loop instance to use) and *limit* (to set the buffer limit passed to the :class:`StreamReader`). This function is a :ref:`coroutine `. .. function:: open_unix_connection(path=None, \*, loop=None, limit=None, **kwds) A wrapper for :meth:`~BaseEventLoop.create_unix_connection()` returning a (reader, writer) pair. See :func:`open_connection` for information about return value and other details. This function is a :ref:`coroutine `. Availability: UNIX. .. function:: start_unix_server(client_connected_cb, path=None, \*, loop=None, limit=None, **kwds) Start a UNIX Domain Socket server, with a callback for each client connected. See :func:`start_server` for information about return value and other details. This function is a :ref:`coroutine `. Availability: UNIX. StreamReader ============ .. class:: StreamReader(limit=None, loop=None) .. method:: exception() Get the exception. .. method:: feed_eof() Acknowledge the EOF. .. method:: feed_data(data) Feed *data* bytes in the internal buffer. Any operations waiting for the data will be resumed. .. method:: set_exception(exc) Set the exception. .. method:: set_transport(transport) Set the transport. .. method:: read(n=-1) Read up to *n* bytes. If *n* is not provided, or set to ``-1``, read until EOF and return all read bytes. If the EOF was received and the internal buffer is empty, return an empty ``bytes`` object. This method is a :ref:`coroutine `. .. method:: readline() Read one line, where "line" is a sequence of bytes ending with ``\n``. If EOF is received, and ``\n`` was not found, the method will return the partial read bytes. If the EOF was received and the internal buffer is empty, return an empty ``bytes`` object. This method is a :ref:`coroutine `. .. method:: readexactly(n) Read exactly *n* bytes. Raise an :exc:`IncompleteReadError` if the end of the stream is reached before *n* can be read, the :attr:`IncompleteReadError.partial` attribute of the exception contains the partial read bytes. This method is a :ref:`coroutine `. .. method:: at_eof() Return ``True`` if the buffer is empty and :meth:`feed_eof` was called. StreamWriter ============ .. class:: StreamWriter(transport, protocol, reader, loop) Wraps a Transport. This exposes :meth:`write`, :meth:`writelines`, :meth:`can_write_eof()`, :meth:`write_eof`, :meth:`get_extra_info` and :meth:`close`. It adds :meth:`drain` which returns an optional :class:`Future` on which you can wait for flow control. It also adds a transport attribute which references the :class:`Transport` directly. .. attribute:: transport Transport. .. method:: can_write_eof() Return :const:`True` if the transport supports :meth:`write_eof`, :const:`False` if not. See :meth:`WriteTransport.can_write_eof`. .. method:: close() Close the transport: see :meth:`BaseTransport.close`. .. method:: drain() Wait until the write buffer of the underlying transport is flushed. The intended use is to write:: w.write(data) yield from w.drain() When the transport buffer is full (the protocol is paused), block until the buffer is (partially) drained and the protocol is resumed. When there is nothing to wait for, the yield-from continues immediately. This method is a :ref:`coroutine `. .. method:: get_extra_info(name, default=None) Return optional transport information: see :meth:`BaseTransport.get_extra_info`. .. method:: write(data) Write some *data* bytes to the transport: see :meth:`WriteTransport.write`. .. method:: writelines(data) Write a list (or any iterable) of data bytes to the transport: see :meth:`WriteTransport.writelines`. .. method:: write_eof() Close the write end of the transport after flushing buffered data: see :meth:`WriteTransport.write_eof`. StreamReaderProtocol ==================== .. class:: StreamReaderProtocol(stream_reader, client_connected_cb=None, loop=None) Trivial helper class to adapt between :class:`Protocol` and :class:`StreamReader`. Sublclass of :class:`Protocol`. *stream_reader* is a :class:`StreamReader` instance, *client_connected_cb* is an optional function called with (stream_reader, stream_writer) when a connection is made, *loop* is the event loop instance to use. (This is a helper class instead of making :class:`StreamReader` itself a :class:`Protocol` subclass, because the :class:`StreamReader` has other potential uses, and to prevent the user of the :class:`StreamReader` to accidentally call inappropriate methods of the protocol.) IncompleteReadError =================== .. exception:: IncompleteReadError Incomplete read error, subclass of :exc:`EOFError`. .. attribute:: expected Total number of expected bytes (:class:`int`). .. attribute:: partial Read bytes string before the end of stream was reached (:class:`bytes`). Stream examples =============== .. _asyncio-tcp-echo-client-streams: TCP echo client using streams ----------------------------- TCP echo client using the :func:`asyncio.open_connection` function:: import asyncio @asyncio.coroutine def tcp_echo_client(message, loop): reader, writer = yield from asyncio.open_connection('127.0.0.1', 8888, loop=loop) print('Send: %r' % message) writer.write(message.encode()) data = yield from reader.read(100) print('Received: %r' % data.decode()) print('Close the socket') writer.close() message = 'Hello World!' loop = asyncio.get_event_loop() loop.run_until_complete(tcp_echo_client(message, loop)) loop.close() .. seealso:: The :ref:`TCP echo client protocol ` example uses the :meth:`BaseEventLoop.create_connection` method. .. _asyncio-tcp-echo-server-streams: TCP echo server using streams ----------------------------- TCP echo server using the :func:`asyncio.start_server` function:: import asyncio @asyncio.coroutine def handle_echo(reader, writer): data = yield from reader.read(100) message = data.decode() addr = writer.get_extra_info('peername') print("Received %r from %r" % (message, addr)) print("Send: %r" % message) writer.write(data) yield from writer.drain() print("Close the client socket") writer.close() loop = asyncio.get_event_loop() coro = asyncio.start_server(handle_echo, '127.0.0.1', 8888, loop=loop) server = loop.run_until_complete(coro) # Serve requests until CTRL+c is pressed print('Serving on {}'.format(server.sockets[0].getsockname())) try: loop.run_forever() except KeyboardInterrupt: pass # Close the server server.close() loop.run_until_complete(server.wait_closed()) loop.close() .. seealso:: The :ref:`TCP echo server protocol ` example uses the :meth:`BaseEventLoop.create_server` method. Get HTTP headers ---------------- Simple example querying HTTP headers of the URL passed on the command line:: import asyncio import urllib.parse import sys @asyncio.coroutine def print_http_headers(url): url = urllib.parse.urlsplit(url) if url.scheme == 'https': connect = asyncio.open_connection(url.hostname, 443, ssl=True) else: connect = asyncio.open_connection(url.hostname, 80) reader, writer = yield from connect query = ('HEAD {path} HTTP/1.0\r\n' 'Host: {hostname}\r\n' '\r\n').format(path=url.path or '/', hostname=url.hostname) writer.write(query.encode('latin-1')) while True: line = yield from reader.readline() if not line: break line = line.decode('latin1').rstrip() if line: print('HTTP header> %s' % line) # Ignore the body, close the socket writer.close() url = sys.argv[1] loop = asyncio.get_event_loop() task = asyncio.async(print_http_headers(url)) loop.run_until_complete(task) loop.close() Usage:: python example.py http://example.com/path/page.html or with HTTPS:: python example.py https://example.com/path/page.html .. _asyncio-register-socket-streams: Register an open socket to wait for data using streams ------------------------------------------------------ Coroutine waiting until a socket receives data using the :func:`open_connection` function:: import asyncio try: from socket import socketpair except ImportError: from asyncio.windows_utils import socketpair @asyncio.coroutine def wait_for_data(loop): # Create a pair of connected sockets rsock, wsock = socketpair() # Register the open socket to wait for data reader, writer = yield from asyncio.open_connection(sock=rsock, loop=loop) # Simulate the reception of data from the network loop.call_soon(wsock.send, 'abc'.encode()) # Wait for data data = yield from reader.read(100) # Got data, we are done: close the socket print("Received:", data.decode()) writer.close() # Close the second socket wsock.close() loop = asyncio.get_event_loop() loop.run_until_complete(wait_for_data(loop)) loop.close() .. seealso:: The :ref:`register an open socket to wait for data using a protocol ` example uses a low-level protocol created by the :meth:`BaseEventLoop.create_connection` method. The :ref:`watch a file descriptor for read events ` example uses the low-level :meth:`BaseEventLoop.add_reader` method to register the file descriptor of a socket.
