Coroutines (and tasks) can only run when the event loop is running.
.. _asyncio-hello-world-coroutine:
Example: "Hello World" coroutine
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Print ``"Hello World"`` every two seconds using a coroutine::
import asyncio
@asyncio.coroutine
def greet_every_two_seconds():
while True:
print('Hello World')
yield from asyncio.sleep(2)
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(greet_every_two_seconds())
.. seealso::
:ref:`Hello World example using a callback <asyncio-hello-world-callback>`.
Example: Chain coroutines
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Example chaining coroutines::
import asyncio
@asyncio.coroutine
def compute(x, y):
print("Compute %s + %s ..." % (x, y))
yield from asyncio.sleep(1.0)
return x + y
@asyncio.coroutine
def print_sum(x, y):
result = yield from compute(x, y)
print("%s + %s = %s" % (x, y, result))
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(print_sum(1, 2))
``compute()`` is chained to ``print_sum()``: ``print_sum()`` coroutine waits
until ``compute()`` is completed before returing its result.
InvalidStateError

Example: Future with run_until_complete()
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Example combining a :class:`Future` and a :ref:`coroutine <coroutine>`::
import asyncio
@asyncio.coroutine
def slow_operation(future):
yield from asyncio.sleep(1)
future.set_result('Future in done!')
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
future = asyncio.Future()
asyncio.Task(slow_operation(future))
loop.run_until_complete(future)
print(future.result())
The coroutine is responsible of the computation (which takes 1 second) and
it stores the result into the future. The
:meth:`~BaseEventLoop.run_until_complete` method waits for the completion of
the future.
.. note::
The :meth:`~BaseEventLoop.run_until_complete` method uses internally the
:meth:`~Future.add_done_callback` method to be notified when the future is
done.
Example: Future with run_forever()
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The previous example can be written differently using the
:meth:`Future.add_done_callback` method to describe explicitly the control
flow::
import asyncio
@asyncio.coroutine
def slow_operation(future):
yield from asyncio.sleep(1)
future.set_result('Future in done!')
def got_result(future):
print(future.result())
loop.stop()
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
future = asyncio.Future()
asyncio.Task(slow_operation(future))
future.add_done_callback(got_result)
loop.run_forever()
In this example, the future is responsible to display the result and to stop
the loop.
.. note::
The coroutine is only executed when the event loop starts running, so it is
possible to add a "done callback" to the future after creating the task
scheduling the coroutine.

When a task is created, it is automatically scheduled for execution. The event
loop stops when all tasks are done.

Example chaining coroutines and executing multiple coroutines in parallel::

task = asyncio.async(print_sum(1, 2))
asyncio.async(wait_task(task))

loop.run_forever()
loop.close()
Output::

Details:
* ``compute()`` is chained to ``print_sum()``: ``print_sum()`` coroutine waits
until ``compute()`` is complete. Coroutines are executed in parallel:
``wait_task()`` is executed while ``compute()`` is blocked in
``asyncio.sleep(3.0)``.
* Coroutines are not executed before the loop is running: ``"Execute tasks"``
is written before ``"Start computing 1 + 2"``.
* ``wait_task()`` stops the event loop when ``print_sum()`` is done.
Example: Future with run_until_complete()
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Example combining a :class:`Future` and a :ref:`coroutine <coroutine>`::
import asyncio
@asyncio.coroutine
def slow_operation(future):
yield from asyncio.sleep(1)
future.set_result('Future in done!')
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
future = asyncio.Future()
asyncio.Task(slow_operation(future))
loop.run_until_complete(future)
print(future.result())
loop.close()
The example waits for the completion of the future (which takes 1 second). The
coroutine is responsible of the computation. The event loop is notified when
the future is done (see the :meth:`Future.set_result` method).
Example: Future with run_until_complete()
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The previous example can be written differently using the
:meth:`Future.add_done_callback` method::
import asyncio
@asyncio.coroutine
def slow_operation(future):
yield from asyncio.sleep(1)
future.set_result('Future in done!')
def exit(future):
print(future.result())
loop.stop()
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
future = asyncio.Future()
asyncio.Task(slow_operation(future))
future.add_done_callback(exit)
loop.run_forever()
loop.close()
The future is now responsible to display the result and stop the loop using the
``exit()`` callback.
.. note::
The coroutine is only executed when the event loop starts running, so it is
possible to add a "done callback" to the future after creating the task
scheduling the coroutine.
