Job scheduler for managing background tasks (asyncio)

The library gives a controlled way for scheduling background tasks for asyncio applications.

.. code-block:: bash

$ pip3 install aiojobs

.. code-block:: python

import asyncio import aiojobs

async def coro(timeout): await asyncio.sleep(timeout)

async def main(): async with aiojobs.Scheduler() as scheduler: for i in range(100): # spawn jobs await scheduler.spawn(coro(i/10))

       await asyncio.sleep(5.0)
       # not all scheduled jobs are finished at the moment
   # Exit from context will gracefully wait on tasks before closing
   # any remaining spawned jobs

asyncio.run(main())

It is typically recommended to use asyncio.shield to protect tasks from cancellation. However, the inner shielded tasks can't be tracked and are therefore at risk of being cancelled during application shutdown.

To resolve this issue aiojobs includes a aiojobs.Scheduler.shield method to shield tasks while also keeping track of them in the scheduler. In combination with the aiojobs.Scheduler.wait_and_close method, this allows shielded tasks the required time to complete successfully during application shutdown.

For example:

.. code-block:: python

import asyncio import aiojobs from contextlib import suppress

async def important(): print("START") await asyncio.sleep(5) print("DONE")

async def run_something(scheduler): # If we use asyncio.shield() here, then the task doesn't complete and DONE is never printed. await scheduler.shield(important())

async def main(): async with aiojobs.Scheduler() as scheduler: t = asyncio.create_task(run_something(scheduler)) await asyncio.sleep(0.1) t.cancel() with suppress(asyncio.CancelledError): await t

asyncio.run(main())

.. code-block:: python

from aiohttp import web from aiojobs.aiohttp import setup, spawn

async def handler(request): await spawn(request, coro()) return web.Response()

app = web.Application() app.router.add_get('/', handler) setup(app)

or just

.. code-block:: python

from aiojobs.aiohttp import atomic

@atomic async def handler(request): return web.Response()
