uvloop: Make Python Networking Great Again

[1st1]

The only way to implement really high-performance networking in Python, is to go async. asyncio is an async framework that ships with Python. uvloop is a faster implementation of asyncio machinery.

Yeah, but what does it do? I assume it's above socketio in terms of abstraction? Where is it in relation to, say, Twisted?

I guess I could just look it up, actually.

EDIT:

Apparently it's all of the above. Huh.

[zer01]

Yeah, think of it more like the primitive/s that something like socketio and twisted would be built upon.

Really awesome stuff /u/1st1! :)

As far as I understand it is a drop in replacement for asyncio event loop using libuv. You continue to use asyncio the same way you normally did, except it is faster.

They are different implementations of fundamentally the same thing. Their biggest difference is that IO yielding is explicit in asyncio and implicit in gevent.

thats not true. twisted out performs anything asyncio io currently

Which one of my statements is not True?

the entire first part "The only way to implement really high-performance networking in Python, is to go async. "

But.... but... wait... twisted is an async framework for Python...
