.. currentmodule:: asyncio
=======
Runners
=======
**Source code:** :source:`Lib/asyncio/runners.py`
This section outlines high-level asyncio primitives to run asyncio code.
They are built on top of an :ref:`event loop <asyncio-event-loop>` with the aim
to simplify async code usage for common wide-spread scenarios.
.. contents::
:depth: 1
:local:
Running an asyncio Program
==========================
.. function:: run(coro, *, debug=None)
Execute the :term:`coroutine` *coro* and return the result.
This function runs the passed coroutine, taking care of
managing the asyncio event loop, *finalizing asynchronous
generators*, and closing the threadpool.
This function cannot be called when another asyncio event loop is
running in the same thread.
If *debug* is ``True``, the event loop will be run in debug mode. ``False`` disables
debug mode explicitly. ``None`` is used to respect the global
:ref:`asyncio-debug-mode` settings.
This function always creates a new event loop and closes it at
the end. It should be used as a main entry point for asyncio
programs, and should ideally only be called once.
Example::
async def main():
await asyncio.sleep(1)
print('hello')
asyncio.run(main())
.. versionadded:: 3.7
.. versionchanged:: 3.9
Updated to use :meth:`loop.shutdown_default_executor`.
.. versionchanged:: 3.10
*debug* is ``None`` by default to respect the global debug mode settings.
Runner context manager
======================
.. class:: Runner(*, debug=None, loop_factory=None)
A context manager that simplifies *multiple* async function calls in the same
context.
Sometimes several top-level async functions should be called in the same :ref:`event
loop <asyncio-event-loop>` and :class:`contextvars.Context`.
If *debug* is ``True``, the event loop will be run in debug mode. ``False`` disables
debug mode explicitly. ``None`` is used to respect the global
:ref:`asyncio-debug-mode` settings.
*loop_factory* could be used for overriding the loop creation.
:func:`asyncio.new_event_loop` is used if ``None``.
Basically, :func:`asyncio.run()` example can be rewritten with the runner usage::
async def main():
await asyncio.sleep(1)
print('hello')
with asyncio.Runner() as runner:
runner.run(main())
.. versionadded:: 3.11
.. method:: run(coro, *, context=None)
Run a :term:`coroutine <coroutine>` *coro* in the embedded loop.
Return the coroutine's result or raise its exception.
An optional keyword-only *context* argument allows specifying a
custom :class:`contextvars.Context` for the *coro* to run in.
The runner's default context is used if ``None``.
This function cannot be called when another asyncio event loop is
running in the same thread.
.. method:: close()
Close the runner.
Finalize asynchronous generators, shutdown default executor, close the event loop
and release embedded :class:`contextvars.Context`.
.. method:: get_loop()
Return the event loop associated with the runner instance.
.. note::
:class:`Runner` uses the lazy initialization strategy, its constructor doesn't
initialize underlying low-level structures.
Embedded *loop* and *context* are created at the :keyword:`with` body entering
or the first call of :meth:`run` or :meth:`get_loop`.
Handling Keyboard Interruption
==============================
.. versionadded:: 3.11
When :const:`signal.SIGINT` is raised by :kbd:`Ctrl-C`, :exc:`KeyboardInterrupt`
exception is raised in the main thread by default. However this doesn't work with
:mod:`asyncio` because it can interrupt asyncio internals and can hang the program from
exiting.
To mitigate this issue, :mod:`asyncio` handles :const:`signal.SIGINT` as follows:
1. :meth:`asyncio.Runner.run` installs a custom :const:`signal.SIGINT` handler before
any user code is executed and removes it when exiting from the function.
2. The :class:`~asyncio.Runner` creates the main task for the passed coroutine for its
execution.
3. When :const:`signal.SIGINT` is raised by :kbd:`Ctrl-C`, the custom signal handler
cancels the main task by calling :meth:`asyncio.Task.cancel` which raises
:exc:`asyncio.CancelledError` inside the main task. This causes the Python stack
to unwind, ``try/except`` and ``try/finally`` blocks can be used for resource
cleanup. After the main task is cancelled, :meth:`asyncio.Runner.run` raises
:exc:`KeyboardInterrupt`.
4. A user could write a tight loop which cannot be interrupted by
:meth:`asyncio.Task.cancel`, in which case the second following :kbd:`Ctrl-C`
immediately raises the :exc:`KeyboardInterrupt` without cancelling the main task.
