協程與任務

This section outlines high-level asyncio APIs to work with coroutines and Tasks.

原始碼:Lib/asyncio/coroutines.py


Coroutines declared with the async/await syntax is the preferred way of writing asyncio applications. For example, the following snippet of code prints "hello", waits 1 second, and then prints "world":

>>> import asyncio

>>> async def main():
...     print('hello')
...     await asyncio.sleep(1)
...     print('world')

>>> asyncio.run(main())
hello
world

Note that simply calling a coroutine will not schedule it to be executed:

>>> main()
<coroutine object main at 0x1053bb7c8>

To actually run a coroutine, asyncio provides the following mechanisms:

  • The asyncio.run() function to run the top-level entry point "main()" function (see the above example.)

  • Awaiting on a coroutine. The following snippet of code will print "hello" after waiting for 1 second, and then print "world" after waiting for another 2 seconds:

    import asyncio
    import time
    
    async def say_after(delay, what):
        await asyncio.sleep(delay)
        print(what)
    
    async def main():
        print(f"started at {time.strftime('%X')}")
    
        await say_after(1, 'hello')
        await say_after(2, 'world')
    
        print(f"finished at {time.strftime('%X')}")
    
    asyncio.run(main())

    hello
    world
    finished at 17
