[FIXED] what's the equivalent of asyncio event loop with uvloop?

Issue

I have an event loop with a coroutine method using asyncio.

I am looking for an equivalent of the following example using uvloop instead.

Here's a simple asyncio event loop example:

import asyncio

async def read(**kwargs):
    oid = kwargs.get('oid', '0.0.0.0.0.0')
    time = kwargs.get('time', 1)
    try:
        print('start: ' + oid)
    except Exception as exc:
        print(exc)
    finally:
        await asyncio.sleep(time)
        print('terminate: ' + oid)


def event_loop(configs):
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()

    for conf in configs:
        asyncio.ensure_future(read(oid=conf['oid'], time=conf['time']))

    return loop

if __name__ == '__main__':
    snmp_configurations = [
        {'time': 5, 'oid': '1.3.6.3.2.4'},
        {'time': 6, 'oid': '1.3.6.3.5.8'},
    ]  # TODO :: DUMMY
    loop = event_loop(snmp_configurations)
    try:
        loop.run_forever()
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        pass
    finally:
        print("Closing Loop")
        loop.close()

Question:

• How to reform the above code snippet via uvloop?

• Is the following changes correct for using [uvloop] 1 with more performance?

   import uvloop
  
   def event_loop(configs):
       asyncio.set_event_loop_policy(uvloop.EventLoopPolicy())  # TODO: uvloop
       loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
  
       for conf in configs:
           asyncio.ensure_future(read(oid=conf['oid'], time=conf['time']))
  
       return loop

[NOTE]:

• uvloop claims that makes asyncio 2-4x faster.

Solution

Just set event loop policy before you call asyncio.get_event_loop().

import asyncio
import uvloop
asyncio.set_event_loop_policy(uvloop.EventLoopPolicy())

async def read(**kwargs):
    oid = kwargs.get('oid', '0.0.0.0.0.0')
    time = kwargs.get('time', 1)
    try:
        print('start: ' + oid)
    except Exception as exc:
        print(exc)
    finally:
        await asyncio.sleep(time)
        print('terminate: ' + oid)


def event_loop(configs):
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()

    for conf in configs:
        asyncio.ensure_future(read(oid=conf['oid'], time=conf['time']))

    return loop

if __name__ == '__main__':
    snmp_configurations = [
        {'time': 5, 'oid': '1.3.6.3.2.4'},
        {'time': 6, 'oid': '1.3.6.3.5.8'},
    ]  # TODO :: DUMMY
    loop = event_loop(snmp_configurations)
    try:
        loop.run_forever()
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        pass
    finally:
        print("Closing Loop")
        loop.close()

Yes, this code is correct. You can set event loop policy after imports.

import uvloop
import asyncio
asyncio.set_event_loop_policy(uvloop.EventLoopPolicy())  # TODO  :: uvloop.

def event_loop(configs):

    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()

    for conf in configs:
        asyncio.ensure_future(read(oid=conf['oid'], time=conf['time']))

    return loop
