Welcome to the asyncio-taskpool documentation!
|
||||
==============================================
|
||||
|
||||
:code:`asyncio-taskpool` is a Python library for dynamically and conveniently managing pools of `asyncio <https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html>`_ tasks.
|
||||
|
||||
Purpose
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
A `task <https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html>`_ is a very powerful tool of concurrency in the Python world. Since concurrency always implies doing more than one thing a time, you rarely deal with just one :code:`Task` instance. However, managing multiple tasks can become a bit cumbersome quickly, as their number increases. Moreover, especially in long-running code, you may find it useful (or even necessary) to dynamically adjust the extent to which the work is distributed, i.e. increase or decrease the number of tasks.
|
||||
|
||||
With that in mind, this library aims to provide two things:
|
||||
|
||||
#. An additional layer of abstraction and convenience for managing multiple tasks.
|
||||
#. A simple interface for dynamically adding and removing tasks when a program is already running.
|
||||
|
||||
The first is achieved through the concept of a :doc:`task pool <pages/pool>`. The second is achieved by adding a :doc:`control server <pages/control>` to the task pool.

||||
