uvloop is a fast, drop-in replacement of the built-in asyncio
|
|
event loop. uvloop is implemented in Cython and uses libuv
|
|
under the hood.

Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
uvloop is available on PyPI, so you can simply use pip::
|
|
|
|
$ pip install uvloop
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using uvloop
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
To make asyncio use uvloop, you can install the uvloop event
|
|
loop policy::
|
|
|
|
import asyncio
|
|
import uvloop
|
|
asyncio.set_event_loop_policy(uvloop.EventLoopPolicy())
|
|
|
|
Or, alternatively, you can create an instance of the loop
|
|
manually, using::
|
|
|
|
loop = uvloop.new_event_loop()
|
|
asyncio.set_event_loop(loop)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Development of uvloop
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
To build uvloop, you'll need ``Cython`` and Python 3.5. The best way
|
|
is to create a virtual env, so that you'll have ``cython`` and
|
|
``python`` commands pointing to the correct tools.
|
|
|
|
1. ``git clone --recursive git@github.com:MagicStack/uvloop.git``
|
|
|
|
2. ``cd uvloop``
|
|
|
|
3. ``make``
|
|
|
|
4. ``make test``
