引言
在现代软件开发中,处理高并发I/O操作是一个常见挑战。传统的同步编程模型在面对大量网络请求、文件操作或数据库查询时往往效率低下。Python的asyncio
库应运而生,它提供了基于async/await
语法的异步编程能力,让开发者能够编写高效、可扩展的并发代码。
本文将深入探讨asyncio
的核心概念、用法、最佳实践以及常见陷阱,帮助你全面掌握这一强大的并发编程工具。
一、核心概念解析
1.1 事件循环 (Event Loop)
事件循环是asyncio
的心脏,它负责调度和执行异步任务。想象事件循环就像一个高效的交通指挥员,它不断检查哪些协程可以运行,并在它们之间智能切换。
import asyncio
async def main():
print("Hello")
await asyncio.sleep(1)
print("World")
# 现代Python推荐方式(3.7+)
asyncio.run(main())
# 传统方式(了解即可)
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
try:
loop.run_until_complete(main())
finally:
loop.close()
1.2 协程 (Coroutine)
协程是asyncio
的基本执行单元,使用async def
定义。它们与普通函数的区别在于能够被”暂停”和”恢复”。
async def fetch_data():
print("开始获取数据")
await asyncio.sleep(2) # 模拟I/O操作
print("数据获取完成")
return {"data": "sample"}
# 调用协程必须使用await
async def main():
result = await fetch_data()
print(f"结果: {result}")
1.3 Future 和 Task
- Future: 表示异步操作的最终结果,类似于JavaScript中的Promise
- Task: Future的子类,专门用于包装和管理协程
async def my_task():
await asyncio.sleep(1)
return "任务完成"
async def main():
# 创建任务
task = asyncio.create_task(my_task())
# 可以继续执行其他操作
print("任务已创建,继续其他工作...")
# 等待任务完成
result = await task
print(f"任务结果: {result}")
二、基本用法详解
2.1 并发执行多个任务
asyncio
的真正威力在于能够轻松实现并发操作:
import asyncio
import time
async def download_file(filename, duration):
print(f"开始下载 {filename}")
await asyncio.sleep(duration)
print(f"{filename} 下载完成")
return f"{filename}_content"
async def main():
start_time = time.time()
# 方法1: 使用gather(推荐)
results = await asyncio.gather(
download_file("file1.txt", 2),
download_file("file2.txt", 3),
download_file("file3.txt", 1)
)
print(f"所有文件下载完成: {results}")
# 方法2: 分别创建任务
task1 = asyncio.create_task(download_file("file4.txt", 2))
task2 = asyncio.create_task(download_file("file5.txt", 1))
await task1
await task2
end_time = time.time()
print(f"总耗时: {end_time - start_time:.2f}秒")
asyncio.run(main())
2.2 超时处理
在实际应用中,超时控制至关重要:
async def slow_operation():
await asyncio.sleep(10)
return "操作完成"
async def main():
try:
# 设置5秒超时
result = await asyncio.wait_for(slow_operation(), timeout=5.0)
print(result)
except asyncio.TimeoutError:
print("操作超时,已取消")
# Python 3.11+ 的新语法
try:
async with asyncio.timeout(5.0):
result = await slow_operation()
print(result)
except TimeoutError:
print("操作超时")
asyncio.run(main())
2.3 同步原语
asyncio
提供了线程类似的同步机制:
async def worker(lock, name, work_time):
async with lock: # 获取锁
print(f"{name} 开始工作")
await asyncio.sleep(work_time)
print(f"{name} 工作完成")
async def main():
lock = asyncio.Lock()
# 三个 worker 竞争同一个锁
await asyncio.gather(
worker(lock, "Worker1", 2),
worker(lock, "Worker2", 1),
worker(lock, "Worker3", 3)
)
asyncio.run(main())
三、高级用法
3.1 队列 (Queue)
生产者-消费者模式是并发编程的常见模式:
async def producer(queue, items):
for item in items:
await queue.put(item)
print(f"生产了: {item}")
await asyncio.sleep(0.1) # 模拟生产时间
await queue.put(None) # 结束信号
async def consumer(queue, name):
while True:
item = await queue.get()
if item is None:
queue.put(None) # 传递给其他消费者
print(f"{name} 结束工作")
break
print(f"{name} 消费了: {item}")
await asyncio.sleep(0.2) # 模拟处理时间
queue.task_done() # 标记任务完成
async def main():
queue = asyncio.Queue(maxsize=3) # 限制队列大小
# 启动生产者和消费者
producer_task = asyncio.create_task(producer(queue, range(5)))
consumer_tasks = [
asyncio.create_task(consumer(queue, "消费者1")),
asyncio.create_task(consumer(queue, "消费者2"))
]
await producer_task
await queue.join() # 等待所有任务处理完成
for task in consumer_tasks:
task.cancel()
# 等待消费者任务正常结束
await asyncio.gather(*consumer_tasks, return_exceptions=True)
asyncio.run(main())
3.2 事件 (Event) 和条件 (Condition)
async def waiter(event, name):
print(f"{name} 等待事件触发")
await event.wait()
print(f"{name} 检测到事件,继续执行")
async def setter(event):
await asyncio.sleep(2)
print("设置事件")
event.set() # 触发所有等待的协程
async def main():
event = asyncio.Event()
await asyncio.gather(
waiter(event, "任务1"),
waiter(event, "任务2"),
setter(event)
)
asyncio.run(main())
3.3 子进程管理
async def run_command():
# 创建子进程
process = await asyncio.create_subprocess_exec(
'python', '--version',
stdout=asyncio.subprocess.PIPE,
stderr=asyncio.subprocess.PIPE
)
# 等待进程完成并获取输出
stdout, stderr = await process.communicate()
print(f"退出码: {process.returncode}")
if stdout:
print(f"标准输出: {stdout.decode()}")
if stderr:
print(f"错误输出: {stderr.decode()}")
asyncio.run(run_command())
四、实际应用示例
4.1 并发HTTP请求
import aiohttp
import asyncio
async def fetch_url(session, url):
try:
async with session.get(url, timeout=10) as response:
return await response.text()
except Exception as e:
return f"错误: {e}"
async def main():
urls = [
"http://httpbin.org/get",
"http://httpbin.org/delay/2",
"http://httpbin.org/status/404"
]
async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
tasks = [fetch_url(session, url) for url in urls]
results = await asyncio.gather(*tasks)
for url, result in zip(urls, results):
print(f"{url}: {result[:100]}...")
asyncio.run(main())
4.2 WebSocket客户端
import aiohttp
import asyncio
async def websocket_client():
try:
async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
async with session.ws_connect("ws://echo.websocket.org") as ws:
print("连接已建立")
# 发送消息
await ws.send_str("Hello, WebSocket!")
# 接收消息
async for msg in ws:
if msg.type == aiohttp.WSMsgType.TEXT:
print(f"收到消息: {msg.data}")
if msg.data == "close":
await ws.close()
break
elif msg.type == aiohttp.WSMsgType.CLOSED:
print("连接关闭")
break
elif msg.type == aiohttp.WSMsgType.ERROR:
print("连接错误")
break
except Exception as e:
print(f"连接失败: {e}")
asyncio.run(websocket_client())
五、注意事项与最佳实践
5.1 避免阻塞事件循环
这是asyncio
开发中最常见的错误:
# ❌ 错误示例 - 阻塞调用
async def bad_example():
import time
time.sleep(5) # 这会阻塞整个事件循环!
# ✅ 正确做法 - 使用异步版本
async def good_example():
await asyncio.sleep(5) # 非阻塞
# ✅ 对于无法异步的阻塞操作
async def run_blocking():
loop = asyncio.get_running_loop()
# 在线程池中运行阻塞函数
result = await loop.run_in_executor(None, time.sleep, 5)
return result
5.2 正确的错误处理
async def risky_operation():
try:
await asyncio.sleep(1)
raise ValueError("模拟错误")
except ValueError as e:
print(f"操作失败: {e}")
raise # 重新抛出
async def main():
# 单个任务的错误处理
try:
await risky_operation()
except ValueError as e:
print(f"捕获错误: {e}")
# 多个任务的错误处理
tasks = [
asyncio.create_task(risky_operation()),
asyncio.create_task(asyncio.sleep(2))
]
done, pending = await asyncio.wait(tasks, return_exceptions=True)
for task in done:
if isinstance(task, Exception):
print(f"任务失败: {task}")
else:
print(f"任务成功: {task.result()}")
asyncio.run(main())
5.3 资源清理
async def fetch_with_resource():
# 模拟资源获取
resource = "connection"
print(f"获取资源: {resource}")
try:
# 模拟业务操作
await asyncio.sleep(1)
return "success"
finally:
# 确保资源释放
print(f"释放资源: {resource}")
async def main():
result = await fetch_with_resource()
print(f"操作结果: {result}")
asyncio.run(main())
5.4 调试技巧
async def debug_example():
# 获取当前任务信息
task = asyncio.current_task()
print(f"任务名称: {task.get_name()}")
print(f"协程: {task.get_coro()}")
await asyncio.sleep(1)
async def main():
# 启用调试模式
asyncio.run(debug_example(), debug=True)
# 或者设置事件循环的调试模式
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.set_debug(True)
try:
await debug_example()
finally:
loop.set_debug(False)
asyncio.run(main())
六、性能优化建议
6.1 限制并发数
async def limited_concurrency(urls, max_concurrent=5):
semaphore = asyncio.Semaphore(max_concurrent)
async def fetch_with_limit(url):
async with semaphore:
async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
async with session.get(url) as response:
return await response.text()
tasks = [fetch_with_limit(url) for url in urls]
return await asyncio.gather(*tasks)
# 使用示例
async def main():
urls = ["http://example.com"] * 100
results = await limited_concurrency(urls, max_concurrent=10)
print(f"完成了 {len(results)} 个请求")
asyncio.run(main())
6.2 使用连接池
async def efficient_requests():
connector = aiohttp.TCPConnector(limit=10) # 限制连接数
async with aiohttp.ClientSession(connector=connector) as session:
tasks = [session.get(f"http://example.com/page/{i}") for i in range(100)]
responses = await asyncio.gather(*tasks)
# 处理响应
results = []
for response in responses:
results.append(await response.text())
return results
6.3 批量操作
async def batch_operations():
# 而不是这样:
# results = []
# for item in items:
# result = await process_item(item)
# results.append(result)
# 应该这样:
tasks = [process_item(item) for item in items]
results = await asyncio.gather(*tasks)
return results
七、常见问题解答
Q1: 如何从同步代码调用异步函数?
def sync_wrapper():
# 方法1: 使用asyncio.run(适用于简单脚本)
result = asyncio.run(async_function())
return result
# 方法2: 在已有事件循环中运行
def sync_in_loop():
loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()
asyncio.set_event_loop(loop)
try:
result = loop.run_until_complete(async_function())
return result
finally:
loop.close()
Q2: 如何正确取消任务?
async def cancellable_task():
try:
await asyncio.sleep(10)
print("任务正常完成")
return "success"
except asyncio.CancelledError:
print("任务被取消,执行清理操作")
raise # 重新抛出异常
async def main():
task = asyncio.create_task(cancellable_task())
# 等待一段时间后取消
await asyncio.sleep(2)
task.cancel()
try:
await task
except asyncio.CancelledError:
print("任务已成功取消")
asyncio.run(main())
Q3: 如何处理任务中的异常?
async def failing_task():
await asyncio.sleep(1)
raise ValueError("任务失败")
async def main():
task = asyncio.create_task(failing_task())
try:
await task
except ValueError as e:
print(f"捕获到异常: {e}")
print(f"任务异常: {task.exception()}")
asyncio.run(main())
