Ordinary local file IO is blocking, and cannot easily and portably made asynchronous. This means doing file IO may interfere with asyncio applications, which shouldn't block the executing thread. aiofiles helps with this by introducing asynchronous versions of files that support delegating operations to a separate thread pool. .. code-block:: python async with aiofiles.open('filename', mode='r') as f: contents = await f.read() print(contents) 'My file contents' Asynchronous iteration is also supported. .. code-block:: python async with aiofiles.open('filename') as f: async for line in f: ... Asynchronous interface to tempfile module. .. code-block:: python async with aiofiles.tempfile.TemporaryFile('wb') as f: await f.write(b'Hello, World!') Features -------- - a file API very similar to Python's standard, blocking API - support for buffered and unbuffered binary files, and buffered text files - support for ``async``/``await`` (:PEP:`492`) constructs - async interface to tempfile module Installation ------------ To install aiofiles, simply: .. code-block:: bash $ pip install aiofiles Usage ----- Files are opened using the ``aiofiles.open()`` coroutine, which in addition to mirroring the builtin ``open`` accepts optional ``loop`` and ``executor`` arguments. If ``loop`` is absent, the default loop will be used, as per the set asyncio policy. If ``executor`` is not specified, the default event loop executor will be used. In case of success, an asynchronous file object is returned with an API identical to an ordinary file, except the following methods are coroutines and delegate to an executor: * ``close`` * ``flush`` * ``isatty`` * ``read`` * ``readall`` * ``read1`` * ``readinto`` * ``readline`` * ``readlines`` * ``seek`` * ``seekable`` * ``tell`` * ``truncate`` * ``writable`` * ``write`` * ``writelines`` In case of failure, one of the usual exceptions will be raised. ``aiofiles.stdin``, ``aiofiles.stdout``, ``aiofiles.stderr``, ``aiofiles.stdin_bytes``, ``aiofiles.stdout_bytes``, and ``aiofiles.stderr_bytes`` provide async access to ``sys.stdin``, ``sys.stdout``, ``sys.stderr``, and their corresponding ``.buffer`` properties. The ``aiofiles.os`` module contains executor-enabled coroutine versions of several useful ``os`` functions that deal with files: * ``stat`` * ``sendfile`` * ``rename`` * ``renames`` * ``replace`` * ``remove`` * ``unlink`` * ``mkdir`` * ``makedirs`` * ``rmdir`` * ``removedirs`` * ``link`` * ``symlink`` * ``readlink`` * ``listdir`` * ``scandir`` * ``access`` * ``path.exists`` * ``path.isfile`` * ``path.isdir`` * ``path.islink`` * ``path.getsize`` * ``path.getatime`` * ``path.getctime`` * ``path.samefile`` * ``path.sameopenfile`` Tempfile ~~~~~~~~ **aiofiles.tempfile** implements the following interfaces: - TemporaryFile - NamedTemporaryFile - SpooledTemporaryFile - TemporaryDirectory Results return wrapped with a context manager allowing use with async with and async for. .. code-block:: python async with aiofiles.tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile('wb+') as f: await f.write(b'Line1\n Line2') await f.seek(0) async for line in f: print(line) async with aiofiles.tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as d: filename = os.path.join(d, "file.ext") Writing tests for aiofiles ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Real file IO can be mocked by patching ``aiofiles.threadpool.sync_open`` as desired. The return type also needs to be registered with the ``aiofiles.threadpool.wrap`` dispatcher: .. code-block:: python aiofiles.threadpool.wrap.register(mock.MagicMock)( lambda *args, **kwargs: threadpool.AsyncBufferedIOBase(*args, **kwargs)) async def test_stuff(): data = 'data' mock_file = mock.MagicMock() with mock.patch('aiofiles.threadpool.sync_open', return_value=mock_file) as mock_open: async with aiofiles.open('filename', 'w') as f: await f.write(data) mock_file.write.assert_called_once_with(data) History ~~~~~~~ 23.1.0 (2023-02-09) ``````````````````` * Added ``aiofiles.os.access``. `#146 `_ * Removed ``aiofiles.tempfile.temptypes.AsyncSpooledTemporaryFile.softspace``. `#151 `_ * Added ``aiofiles.stdin``, ``aiofiles.stdin_bytes``, and other stdio streams. `#154 `_ * Transition to ``asyncio.get_running_loop`` (vs ``asyncio.get_event_loop``) internally. 22.1.0 (2022-09-04) ``````````````````` * Added ``aiofiles.os.path.islink``. `#126 `_ * Added ``aiofiles.os.readlink``. `#125 `_ * Added ``aiofiles.os.symlink``. `#124 `_ * Added ``aiofiles.os.unlink``. `#123 `_ * Added ``aiofiles.os.link``. `#121 `_ * Added ``aiofiles.os.renames``. `#120 `_ * Added ``aiofiles.os.{listdir, scandir}``. `#143 `_ * Switched to CalVer. * Dropped Python 3.6 support.
