Using async and await

async/await support is currently being integrated in PyO3. See the dedicated documentation

If you are working with a Python library that makes use of async functions or wish to provide Python bindings for an async Rust library, pyo3-async-runtimes likely has the tools you need. It provides conversions between async functions in both Python and Rust and was designed with first-class support for popular Rust runtimes such as tokio and async-std. In addition, all async Python code runs on the default asyncio event loop, so pyo3-async-runtimes should work just fine with existing Python libraries.

Additional Information

• Managing event loop references can be tricky with pyo3-async-runtimes. See Event Loop References in the API docs to get a better intuition for how event loop references are managed in this library.
• Testing pyo3-async-runtimes libraries and applications requires a custom test harness since Python requires control over the main thread. You can find a testing guide in the API docs for the testing module
