Read file line by line with asyncio

Question

I wish to read several log files as they are written and process their input with asyncio. The code will have to run on windows. From what I understand from searching around bot

Answer 1

Your code structure looks good to me, the following code runs fine on my machine:

import asyncio

PERIOD = 0.5

@asyncio.coroutine
def readline(f):
    while True:
        data = f.readline()
        if data:
            return data
        yield from asyncio.sleep(PERIOD)

@asyncio.coroutine
def test():
    with open('test.txt') as f:
        while True:
            line = yield from readline(f)
            print('Got: {!r}'.format(line))

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(test())
