aiopen¶

Install: pip install aiopen

Async-open

Why not use aiofiles?

• Wanted more type annotations
• aiofiles uses ye ole @coroutine decorator -- aiopen uses python3.6+ async/await
• aiopen is a callable module, so you can do:
  • import aiopen
  • async with aiopen('afile.txt', 'w') as f: await f.write('some text!')
  • async with aiopen('afile.txt', 'r') as f: content = await f.read()

(Big shouts out to the aiofiles people, aiopen is entirely based off of aiofiles)

Usage:¶

Just import it! The module is also callable!

import aiopen

async with aiopen('afile.txt', 'w') as f:
    await f.write('some text!')

async with aiopen('afile.txt', 'r') as f:
    content = await f.read()
    print(content)
