unblock comes with utilities that can be used to convert synchronous functions to async for use in event loop. For documentation, refer here
Here is a quick example,
import asyncio
from unblock import asyncify
@asyncify
def my_sync_func():
#do something
if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(my_sync_func())Features,
- Convert your synchronous functions, methods etc. to asynchronous with easy to use constructs
- Asynchronous tasks are started in the background without the need of await keyword. Note that await is still needed to fetch results
- By default uses even loop provided by asyncio. But supports other event loops as well
- Support for ThreadPool or ProcessPool executors
- Comes with APIs to build your own asynchronous context manager, asynchronous iterators etc.
- Supports python 3.7 and above
