promisio
JavaScript-style async programming for Python.
Examples
Create a promise-based async function using the promisify
decorator. It works on both sync and async functions!
from promisio import promisify
@promisify
async def f():
await asyncio.sleep(1)
return 42
@promisify
def g(x):
return x * 2
async def main():
print(await f()) # prints 42
print(await g(42)) # prints 84
promise = f() # runs function in the background without waiting
# ... do other stuff here in parallel with f running
await promise # finally wait for f to complete
The return value of the decorated function is a JavaScript-style promise object that can be awaited. The then()
, catch()
and finally_()
methods to chain promises work as in JavaScript. The Promise.all()
, Promise.all_settled()
, Promise.any()
, Promise.race()
, Promise.resolve()
and Promise.reject()
are also available. Promises in this package are extended to also support cancellation via the cancel()
and cancelled()
methods.
