AsyncIO Services Fork
Documentation: https://faust-streaming.github.io/mode/
Source Code: https://github.com/faust-streaming/mode
Why the fork
We have decided to fork the original Mode project because there is a critical process of releasing new versions which causes uncertainty in the community. Everybody is welcome to contribute to this fork, and you can be added as a maintainer.
We want to:
- Ensure continues release
- Code quality
- Support latest Python versions
- Update the documentation
and more...
What is Mode?
Mode is a very minimal Python library built-on top of AsyncIO that makes
it much easier to use.
In Mode your program is built out of services that you can start, stop,
restart and supervise.
A service is just a class:
class PageViewCache(Service):
redis: Redis = None
async def on_start(self) -> None:
self.redis = connect_to_redis()
async def update(self, url: str, n: int = 1) -> int:
return await self.redis.incr(url, n)
async def get(self, url: str) -> int:
return await self.redis.get(url)
Services are started, stopped and restarted and have
callbacks for those actions.
It can start another service:
class App(Service):
page_view_cache: PageViewCache = None
async def on_start(self) -> None:
await self.add_runtime_dependency(self.page_view_cache)
@cached_property
def page_view_cache(self) -> PageViewCache:
return PageViewCache()
It can include background tasks:
class PageViewCache(Service):
@Service.timer(1.0)
async def _update_cache(self) -> None:
self.data = await cache.get('key')
Services that depends on other services actually form a graph
that you can visualize.
Worker
Mode optionally provides a worker that you can use to start the program,
with support for logging, blocking detection, remote debugging and more.
To start a worker add this to your program:
if __name__ == '__main__':
from mode import Worker
Worker(Service(), loglevel="info").execute_from_commandline()
Then execute your program to start the worker:
$ python examples/tutorial.py

Beacons
The beacon
object that we pass to services keeps track of the services
in a graph.
They are not strictly required, but can be used to visualize a running
system, for example we can render it as a pretty graph.
This requires you to have the pydot
library and GraphViz
installed:
$ pip install pydot
Let's change the app service class to dump the graph to an image
at startup:
class AppService(Service):
async def on_start(self) -> None:
print('APP STARTING')
import pydot
import io
o = io.StringIO()
beacon = self.app.beacon.root or self.app.beacon
beacon.as_graph().to_dot(o)
graph, = pydot.graph_from_dot_data(o.getvalue())
print('WRITING GRAPH TO image.png')
with open('image.png', 'wb') as fh:
fh.write(graph.create_png())
Creating a Service
To define a service, simply subclass and fill in the methods
to do stuff as the service is started/stopped etc.:
class MyService(Service):
async def on_start(self) -> None:
print('Im starting now')
async def on_started(self) -> None:
print('Im ready')
async def on_stop(self) -> None:
print('Im stopping now')
To start the service, call await service.start()
:
await service.start()
Or you can use mode.Worker
(or a subclass of this) to start your
services-based asyncio program from the console:
if __name__ == '__main__':
import mode
worker = mode.Worker(
MyService(),
loglevel='INFO',
logfile=None,
daemon=False,
)
worker.execute_from_commandline()
It's a Graph!
Services can start other services, coroutines, and background tasks.
- Starting other services using
add_dependency
:
class MyService(Service):
def __post_init__(self) -> None:
self.add_dependency(OtherService(loop=self.loop))
- Start a list of services using
on_init_dependencies
:
class MyService(Service):
def on_init_dependencies(self) -> None:
return [
ServiceA(loop=self.loop),
ServiceB(loop=self.loop),
ServiceC(loop=self.loop),
]
- Start a future/coroutine (that will be waited on to complete on stop):
class MyService(Service):
async def on_start(self) -> None:
self.add_future(self.my_coro())
async def my_coro(self) -> None:
print('Executing coroutine')
- Start a background task:
class MyService(Service):
@Service.task
async def _my_coro(self) -> None:
print('Executing coroutine')
- Start a background task that keeps running:
class MyService(Service):
@Service.task
async def _my_coro(self) -> None:
while not self.should_stop:
await self.sleep(1.0)
print('Background thread waking up')
Installation
You can install Mode either via the Python Package Index (PyPI)
or from source.
To install using pip
:
$ pip install -U mode-streaming
Downloading and installing from source: http://pypi.org/project/mode-streaming
You can install it by doing the following:
$ tar xvfz mode-streaming-0.2.1.tar.gz
$ cd mode-0.2.1
$ python -m build .
The last command must be executed as a privileged user if
you are not currently using a virtualenv.
Using the development version:
With pip:
You can install the latest snapshot of Mode using the following
pip command:
$ pip install mode-streaming
Developing
The guideline and associated information are stored in CONTRIBUTING.md
FAQ
Can I use Mode with Django/Flask/etc.?
Yes! Use gevent/eventlet as a bridge to integrate with asyncio.
Using gevent
:
This works with any blocking Python library that can work with gevent.
Using gevent requires you to install the aiogevent
module,
and you can install this as a bundle with Mode:
$ pip install -U mode-streaming[gevent]
Then to actually use gevent as the event loop you have to
execute the following in your entrypoint module (usually where you
start the worker), before any other third party libraries are imported:
import mode.loop
mode.loop.use('gevent')
REMEMBER: This must be located at the very top of the module,
in such a way that it executes before you import other libraries.
Using eventlet
:
This works with any blocking Python library that can work with eventlet.
Using eventlet requires you to install the aioeventlet
module,
and you can install this as a bundle with Mode:
$ pip install -U mode-streaming[eventlet]
Then to actually use eventlet as the event loop you have to
execute the following in your entrypoint module (usually where you
start the worker), before any other third party libraries are imported:
import mode.loop
mode.loop.use('eventlet')
REMEMBER: It's very important this is at the very top of the module,
and that it executes before you import libraries.
Can I use Mode with Tornado?
Yes! Use the tornado.platform.asyncio
bridge: http://www.tornadoweb.org/en/stable/asyncio.html
Can I use Mode with Twisted?
Yes! Use the asyncio reactor implementation:
https://twistedmatrix.com/documents/17.1.0/api/twisted.internet.asyncioreactor.html
Will you support Python 3.5 or earlier?
There are no immediate plans to support Python 3.5, but you are welcome to
contribute to the project.
Here are some of the steps required to accomplish this:
- Source code transformation to rewrite variable annotations to comments for example, the code:
class Point:
x: int = 0
y: int = 0
must be rewritten into:
class Point:
x = 0
y = 0
- Source code transformation to rewrite async functions for example, the code:
async def foo():
await asyncio.sleep(1.0)
must be rewritten into:
@coroutine
def foo():
yield from asyncio.sleep(1.0)
Will you support Python 2?
There are no plans to support Python 2, but you are welcome to contribute to
the project (details in question above is relevant also for Python 2).
At Shutdown I get lots of warnings, what is this about?
If you get warnings such as this at shutdown:
Task was destroyed but it is pending!
task: <Task pending coro=<Service._execute_task() running at /opt/devel/mode/mode/services.py:643> wait_for=<Future pending cb=[<TaskWakeupMethWrapper object at 0x1100a7468>()]>>

It usually means you forgot to stop a service before the process exited.
