* Integrate the KJ event loop into Python's asyncio event loop
Fix#256
This PR attempts to remove the slow and expensive polling behavior for asyncio
in favor of proper linking of the KJ event loop to the asyncio event loop.
* Don't memcopy buffer
* Improve promise cancellation and prepare for timer implementation
* Add attribution for asyncProvider.cpp
* Implement timeout
* Cleanup
* First round of simplifications
* Add more a_wait functions and a shutdown function
* Fix edge-cases with loop shutdown
* Clean up calculator examples
* Cleanup
* Cleanup
* Reformat
* Fix warnings
* Reformat again
* Compatibility with macos
* Inline the asyncio loop in some places where this is feasible
* Add todo
* Fix
* Remove synchronous wait
* Wrap fd listening callbacks in a class
* Remove poll_forever
* Remove the thread-local/thread-global optimization
This will not matter much soon anyway, and simplifies things
* Share promise code by using fused types
* Improve refcounting of python objects in promises
We replace many instances of PyObject* by Own<PyRefCounter> for more automatic
reference management.
* Code wrapPyFunc in a similar way to wrapPyFuncNoArg
* Refactor capabilityHelper, fix several memory bugs for promises and add __await__
* Improve promise ownership, reduce memory leaks
Promise wrappers now hold a Own<Promise<Own<PyRefCounter>>> object. This might
seem like excessive nesting of objects (which to some degree it is, but with
good reason):
- The outer Own is needed because Cython cannot allocate objects without a
nullary constructor on the stack (Promise doesn't have a nullary constructor).
Additionally, I believe it would be difficult or impossible to detect when a
promise is cancelled/moved if we use a bare Promise.
- Every promise returns a Owned PyRefCounter. PyRefCounter makes sure that a
reference to the returned object keeps existing until the promise is fulfilled
or cancelled. Previously, this was attempted using attach, which is redundant
and makes reasoning about PyINCREF and PyDECREF very difficult.
- Because a promise holds a Own<Promise<...>>, when we perform any kind of
action on that promise (a_wait, then, ...), we have to explicitly move() the
ownership around. This will leave the original promise with a NULL-pointer,
which we can easily detect as a cancelled promise.
Promises now only hold references to their 'parents' when strictly needed. This
should reduce memory pressure.
* Simplify and test the promise joining functionality
* Attach forgotten parent
* Catch exceptions in add_reader and friends
* Further cleanup of memory leaks
* Get rid of a_wait() in examples
* Cancel all fd read operations when the python asyncio loop is closed
* Formatting
* Remove support for capnp < 7000
* Bring asyncProvider.cpp more in line with upstream async-io-unix.c++
It was originally copied from the nodejs implementation, which in turn copied
from async-io-unix.c++. But that copy is pretty old.
* Fix a bug that caused file descriptors to never be closed
* Implement AsyncIoStream based on Python transports and protocols
* Get rid of asyncProvider
All asyncio now goes through _AsyncIoStream
* Formatting
* Add __dict__ to PyAsyncIoStreamProtocol for python 3.7
* Reintroduce strange ipv4/ipv6 selection code to make ci happy
* Extra pause_reading()
* Work around more python bugs
* Be careful to only close transport when this is still possible
* Move pause_reading() workaround
- Full cleanup of all the docs
- General sphinx housekeeping
- Updated all the old/bad links
- More reliable tests
- Updated Changelog
- Removed dead/deprecated code
- Added documentation generation test
- Includes some test stabilization
- Fixes manylinux2010 build issues (linker flag order due to old gcc)
- More rigorous python setup.py clean
- Requires capnproto v0.8.0 or greater
- Including system libcapnp include path for import (e.g. import
stream_capnp)
- Bundle libcapnp .capnp files when not using system libcapnp
- Removing more distutils usage. Now using pkg-config to determine the
system version of libcapnp (mainly for Linux, but should work on macOS
with brew)
- Removed dead code
Resolves issues #215#216#217
Lots of fixes for Issue #218 (all sorts of retry methods needed for
GitHub Actions)
- This way they will be included in CI checks
- Decreased the delay time in the thread-like examples to speed up tests
(probably could decrease the time some more)
- Added an async version of the calculator test
- Forcing python3 support for example scripts
flake8 . --count --exit-zero --max-complexity=10 --max-line-length=127 --statistics --exclude benchmark
Excluding the benchmark directory (due to protobuf generated files)
Also removing some Python2 specific code
- Uses thread.capnp
- Follows same format as thread_client.py/thread_server.py and
async_client.py/async_server.py
- Including a basic self signed certificate for testing convenience
- Python 3.7 has a bug cleaning up SSL when using asyncio.run

Have a slightly more verbose workaround to do proper cleanup
