Async to sync converter

Project description

Syncer

https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/syncer.svg https://img.shields.io/pypi/pyversions/syncer.svg

Syncer is an async-to-sync converter for python.

Features

Sometimes (mainly in test) we need to convert asynchronous functions to normal, synchronous functions and run them synchronously. It can be done by ayncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(), but it’s quite long…

Syncer makes this conversion easy.

  • Convert async-function (defined by aync def) to normal (synchronous) function

  • Evaluate coroutines synchronously

Install

At the command line:

$ pip install syncer

Usage

This module has only one function: syncer.sync.

from syncer import sync
async def async_fun():
    ...
    return 1
b = sync(async_fun)  # now b is synchronous
assert 1 == b()

To test the above async_fun in asynchronous test functions:

import unittest

class TestA(unittest.TestCase):
    # ``sync`` can be used as decorator.
    # The decorated function becomes synchronous.
    @sync
    async def test_async_fun(self):
        self.assertEqual(await async_fun(), 1)

Or, keep test functions synchronous and get results synchronously:

class TestA(unittest.TestCase):
    def test_async_fun(self):
        # run coroutine and return the result
        self.assertEqual(sync(async_fun()), 1)
        # This is equivalent to below, just a shortcut
        self.assertEqual(
            asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(async_fun()), 1)

More examples/use-cases will be found in test.
