Python 3.7 AsyncIO examplesΒΆ

With Python 3.7 AsyncIO got major update for the following types:

  • asyncio.AbstractEventLoop

  • asyncio.AbstractServer

This example shows how to use sanic with Python 3.7, to be precise: how to retrieve an asyncio server instance:

import asyncio
import socket
import os

from sanic import Sanic
from sanic.response import json

app = Sanic(__name__)


@app.route("/")
async def test(request):
    return json({"hello": "world"})


server_socket = '/tmp/sanic.sock'

sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_UNIX, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

try:
    os.remove(server_socket)
finally:
    sock.bind(server_socket)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    srv_coro = app.create_server(
        sock=sock,
        return_asyncio_server=True,
        asyncio_server_kwargs=dict(
            start_serving=False
        )
    )
    srv = loop.run_until_complete(srv_coro)
    try:
        assert srv.is_serving() is False
        loop.run_until_complete(srv.start_serving())
        assert srv.is_serving() is True
        loop.run_until_complete(srv.serve_forever())
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        srv.close()
        loop.close()

Please note that uvloop does not support these features yet.
