What is later
?
later is a play on Async not happening now but at some point in the future. It was also an awesome name for a toolkit for writing AsyncIO applications. The batteries if you will for AsyncIO.
later offers the following functions:
- asyncio Event enhancements
BiDirectionalEvent
- Back channel of information for the setter to ensure the waiter has called wait() a second time
- asyncio Task enhancements
- Watcher - Watch tasks and ensure they don't die - take action when they do
- asyncio Unittesting enhancements
- TestCase - Use in place of IsolatedAsyncioTestCase for more wins
- IsolatedAsyncioTestCase is backported for 3.7 users
later currently backports 3.8's async_case + mock libraries for 3.7 users.
