What is this Python project?
aiochan is a concurrency library that is used on top of the built-in library asyncio. It provides channels together with put
, get
and select
operations on them as its concurrency primitives, thus enabling CSP-style concurrency programs to be written (like in Go or in Clojure's core.async). In additions to lots of convenient methods and functions which enable easy-to-read and easy-to-write concurrent dataflow, there are also methods provided that can overcome python's GIL restriction in order to fully utilise all CPU cores on a single machine.
What's the difference between this Python project and similar ones?
None of the libraries already listed is similar to this one. Compared to those that are not listed (such as python-csp, aiochannel and aiostream), they do not enable the full CSP-style programming (usually they do not provide select
, which must be implemented inside the channel), or they are not actively maintained at all and do not work well with the newest python versions.
