**Source code:** :source:`Lib/asyncio/streams.py`
Stream functions
================
.. note::
The top-level functions in this module are meant as convenience wrappers
only; there's really nothing special there, and if they don't do
exactly what you want, feel free to copy their code.
.. coroutinefunction:: open_connection(host=None, port=None, \*, loop=None, limit=None, \*\*kwds)
A wrapper for :meth:`~AbstractEventLoop.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:`AbstractEventLoop.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`).
This function is a :ref:`coroutine <coroutine>`.
.. coroutinefunction:: 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:`~AbstractEventLoop.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
<coroutine>`; 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:`~AbstractEventLoop.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 <coroutine>`.
.. coroutinefunction:: open_unix_connection(path=None, \*, loop=None, limit=None, **kwds)
A wrapper for :meth:`~AbstractEventLoop.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 <coroutine>`.
Availability: UNIX.
.. coroutinefunction:: 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 <coroutine>`.
Availability: UNIX.
StreamReader
============
.. class:: StreamReader(limit=None, loop=None)
This class is :ref:`not thread safe <asyncio-multithreading>`.
.. 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.
.. coroutinemethod:: 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 <coroutine>`.
.. coroutinemethod:: 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 <coroutine>`.
.. coroutinemethod:: 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 <coroutine>`.
.. coroutinemethod:: readuntil(separator=b'\\n')
Read data from the stream until ``separator`` is found.
On success, the data and separator will be removed from the
internal buffer (consumed). Returned data will include the
separator at the end.
Configured stream limit is used to check result. Limit sets the
maximal length of data that can be returned, not counting the
separator.
If an EOF occurs and the complete separator is still not found,
an :exc:`IncompleteReadError` exception will be
raised, and the internal buffer will be reset. The
:attr:`IncompleteReadError.partial` attribute may contain the
separator partially.
If the data cannot be read because of over limit, a
:exc:`LimitOverrunError` exception will be raised, and the data
will be left in the internal buffer, so it can be read again.
.. versionadded:: 3.5.2
.. 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.
This class is :ref:`not thread safe <asyncio-multithreading>`.
.. 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`.
.. coroutinemethod:: drain()
Let the write buffer of the underlying transport a chance to be flushed.
The intended use is to write::
w.write(data)
yield from w.drain()
When the size of the transport buffer reaches the high-water limit (the
protocol is paused), block until the size of the buffer is drained down
to the low-water limit and the protocol is resumed. When there is nothing
to wait for, the yield-from continues immediately.
Yielding from :meth:`drain` gives the opportunity for the loop to
schedule the write operation and flush the buffer. It should especially
be used when a possibly large amount of data is written to the transport,
and the coroutine does not yield-from between calls to :meth:`write`.
This method is a :ref:`coroutine <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`. Subclass 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` from
accidentally calling 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`).
LimitOverrunError
=================
.. exception:: LimitOverrunError
Reached the buffer limit while looking for a separator.
.. attribute:: consumed
Total number of to be consumed bytes.

loop=loop)
print('Send: %r' % message)
writer.write(message.encode())
data = yield from reader.read(100)
print('Received: %r' % data.decode())

-----------------------------
TCP echo server using the :func:`asyncio.start_server` function::
import asyncio
@asyncio.coroutine

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 <asyncio-tcp-echo-server-protocol>`
example uses the :meth:`AbstractEventLoop.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.ensure_future(print_http_headers(url))
loop.run_until_complete(task)
loop.close()

.. _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
<asyncio-register-socket>` example uses a low-level protocol created by the
:meth:`AbstractEventLoop.create_connection` method.
The :ref:`watch a file descriptor for read events
<asyncio-watch-read-event>` example uses the low-level
:meth:`AbstractEventLoop.add_reader` method to register the file descriptor of a
socket.
