GitHub - MagicStack/uvloop at v0.16.0
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.

Performance
uvloop 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.

Installation
uvloop requires Python 3.7 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 pip Using uvloop
Call uvloop.install() before calling asyncio.run() or manually creating an asyncio event loop:
importasyncioimportuvloopasyncdefmain(): # Main entry-point. ... uvloop.install() asyncio.run(main())Building From Source
To build uvloop, you'll need Python 3.7 or greater:
Clone the repository:
$ git clone --recursive [email protected]:MagicStack/uvloop.git $ cd uvloop
Create a virtual environment and activate it:
$ python3.7 -m venv uvloop-dev $ source uvloop-dev/bin/activate
Install development dependencies:
$ pip install -e .[dev]
Build and run tests:
$ make $ make test
