uvloop is a fast, drop-in replacement of the built-in asyncio event loop. uvloop is implemented in Cython and uses libuv under the hood.
The project documentation can be found here. Please also check out the wiki.
Performanceuvloop makes asyncio 2-4x faster.
The above chart shows the performance of an echo server with different message sizes. The sockets benchmark uses loop.sock_recv() and loop.sock_sendall() methods; the streams benchmark uses asyncio high-level streams, created by the asyncio.start_server() function; and the protocol benchmark uses loop.create_server() with a simple echo protocol. Read more about uvloop in a blog post about it.
Installationuvloop requires Python 3.8 or greater and is available on PyPI. Use pip to install it:
$ pip install uvloop
Note that it is highly recommended to upgrade pip before installing uvloop with:
$ pip install -U pipUsing uvloop
As of uvloop 0.18, the preferred way of using it is via the uvloop.run() helper function:
import uvloop
async def main():
# Main entry-point.
...
uvloop.run(main())
uvloop.run() works by simply configuring asyncio.run() to use uvloop, passing all of the arguments to it, such as debug, e.g. uvloop.run(main(), debug=True).
With Python 3.11 and earlier the following alternative snippet can be used:
import asyncio
import sys
import uvloop
async def main():
# Main entry-point.
...
if sys.version_info >= (3, 11):
with asyncio.Runner(loop_factory=uvloop.new_event_loop) as runner:
runner.run(main())
else:
uvloop.install()
asyncio.run(main())
Building From Source
To build uvloop, you’ll need Python 3.8 or greater:
Clone the repository:
$ git clone --recursive git@github.com:MagicStack/uvloop.git
$ cd uvloop
Create a virtual environment and activate it:
$ python3 -m venv uvloop-dev
$ source uvloop-dev/bin/activate
Install development dependencies:
$ pip install -e .[dev]
Build and run tests:
$ make
$ make test
uvloop is dual-licensed under MIT and Apache 2.0 licenses.
