Python asyncio task ordering

Question

I have a question about how the event loop in python\'s asyncio module manages outstanding tasks. Consider the following code:

import asyncio

@         


        

Answer 1

Currently your example doesn't include any blocking I/O code. Try this to simulate some tasks:

import asyncio


@asyncio.coroutine
def coro(tag, delay):
    for i in range(1, 8):
        print(tag, i)
        yield from asyncio.sleep(delay)


loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()

print("---- await 0 seconds :-) --- ")
tasks = [
    asyncio.Task(coro("A", 0)),
    asyncio.Task(coro("B", 0)),
    asyncio.Task(coro("C", 0)),
]

loop.run_until_complete(asyncio.wait(tasks))

print("---- simulate some blocking I/O --- ")
tasks = [
    asyncio.Task(coro("A", 0.1)),
    asyncio.Task(coro("B", 0.3)),
    asyncio.Task(coro("C", 0.5)),
]

loop.run_until_complete(asyncio.wait(tasks))

loop.close()

As you can see, coroutines are scheduled as needed, and not in order.
