Thanks for the timely reply! After some investigation, I'm using caio
with Lock now, which suits me better. Great work for these two libraries!
from aiofile.
TL/DR: Writer - Yes, Reader - Yes, LineReader - Probably yes. However, the point is not quite clear, since these are objects that just contain a pointer to an offset, they are cheaper to copy and send each copy to the diferrent coroutines in my opinion.
I think questions like this has to do with some misunderstanding of exactly how this library designed under the hood. It's probably my bad, fail to explain this in the docs.
There is AIOFile
, which is like a low-level abstraction that owns an instance of one of the implementations of AsyncioContext
. It is a very simple object that can read and write only by offset, for that you get absolute competitiveness when reading and writing, without having to block anything.
So, objects of class BinaryFileWrapper
and TextFileWrapper
which is what the async_open
function returns and mimicking the normal open
in python. They have a caret that points to the file offset, and of course there are locks for read and write that do not allow a race between the operations and the value in the caret. The dark side of this simplicity is the lost read and write concirrency.
However, the library has some helpers that allow you to use one AIOFile
concurrently. If you imagine that the user code has different coroutine roles which have different responsibilities, for example one writes data, the others only reads, then you can keep one AIOFile
object and pass it wrapped in objects Writer
, Reader
and LineReader
to this coroutines.
This is not the first question in this vein, I do not know how best to reflect this in the documentation, it would be great if someone could help me.
