Top 5 async-python Open-Source Projects

uvloop

14 9,994 5.5 Cython

Ultra fast asyncio event loop.

Project mention: APIs in Go with Huma 2.0 | dev.to | 2023-12-06

I wound up on a different team with pre-existing Python code so temporarily shelved my use of Go for a bit, and we used Sanic (an async Python framework built on top of the excellent uvloop & libuv that also powers Node.js) to build some APIs for live channel management & operations. We hand-wrote our OpenAPI and used it to generate documentation and a CLI, which was an improvement over what was there (or not) before. Other teams used the OpenAPI document to generate SDKs to interact with our service.

asyncpg

15 6,609 7.2 Python

A fast PostgreSQL Database Client Library for Python/asyncio.

Project mention: Ask HN: Is Python async/await some kind of joke? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-27

- SqlAlchemy/asyncpg => you can’t use it if you’re using PgBouncer (necessary most of the time with Postgres) in transaction mode? What?? https://github.com/MagicStack/asyncpg/issues/1058
