asyncio: futures
While using asyncio
, you rarely need to mess with futures directly, they are usually concealed and are dealt by the loop itself.
However, custom futures might be a mighty tool.
This example demonstrates how a coroutine can be stopped for batch processing.
The sqr
coroutine creates and awaits future that can be processed not by the loop,
but by the custom Queue
, that sends HTTP requests once every second, not immediately on demand.
