.. currentmodule:: asyncio .. _asyncio-streams: ++++++++++++++++++++++++ Streams (high-level API) ++++++++++++++++++++++++ Stream functions ================ .. coroutinefunction:: 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 `. .. 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:`~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 `. .. coroutinefunction:: 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. .. 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 `. Availability: UNIX. StreamReader ============ .. class:: StreamReader(limit=None, loop=None) This class is :ref:`not thread safe `. .. 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 `. .. 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 `. .. 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 `. .. 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 `. .. 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 `. .. 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` 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`). 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.ensure_future(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.
