Low-level API Index¶

This page lists all low-level asyncio APIs.

Obtaining the Event Loop¶

`asyncio.get_running_loop()`	The preferred function to get the running event loop.
`asyncio.get_event_loop()`	Get an event loop instance (running or current via the current policy).
`asyncio.set_event_loop()`	Set the event loop as current via the current policy.
`asyncio.new_event_loop()`	Create a new event loop.

Examples

Using asyncio.get_running_loop().

Event Loop Methods¶

See also the main documentation section about the Event Loop Methods.

Lifecycle

`loop.run_until_complete()`	Run a Future/Task/awaitable until complete.
`loop.run_forever()`	Run the event loop forever.
`loop.stop()`	Stop the event loop.
`loop.close()`	Close the event loop.
`loop.is_running()`	Return `True` if the event loop is running.
`loop.is_closed()`	Return `True` if the event loop is closed.
`await` `loop.shutdown_asyncgens()`	Close asynchronous generators.

Debugging

`loop.set_debug()`	Enable or disable the debug mode.
`loop.get_debug()`	Get the current debug mode.

Scheduling Callbacks

`loop.call_soon()`	Invoke a callback soon.
`loop.call_soon_threadsafe()`	A thread-safe variant of `loop.call_soon()`.
`loop.call_later()`	Invoke a callback after the given time.
`loop.call_at()`	Invoke a callback at the given time.

Thread/Process Pool

`await` `loop.run_in_executor()`	Run a CPU-bound or other blocking function in a `concurrent.futures` executor.
`loop.set_default_executor()`	Set the default executor for `loop.run_in_executor()`.
