Policies
********

Προειδοποίηση:

  Policies are deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.16. Users
  are encouraged to use the "asyncio.run()" function or the
  "asyncio.Runner" with *loop_factory* to use the desired loop
  implementation.

An event loop policy is a global object used to get and set the
current event loop, as well as create new event loops. The default
policy can be replaced with built-in alternatives to use different
event loop implementations, or substituted by a custom policy that can
override these behaviors.

The policy object gets and sets a separate event loop per *context*.
This is per-thread by default, though custom policies could define
*context* differently.

Custom event loop policies can control the behavior of
"get_event_loop()", "set_event_loop()", and "new_event_loop()".

Policy objects should implement the APIs defined in the
"AbstractEventLoopPolicy" abstract base class.


Getting and Setting the Policy
==============================

The following functions can be used to get and set the policy for the
current process:

asyncio.get_event_loop_policy()

   Return the current process-wide policy.

   Αποσύρθηκε στην έκδοση 3.14: The "get_event_loop_policy()" function
   is deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.16.

asyncio.set_event_loop_policy(policy)

   Set the current process-wide policy to *policy*.

   If *policy* is set to "None", the default policy is restored.

   Αποσύρθηκε στην έκδοση 3.14: The "set_event_loop_policy()" function
   is deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.16.


Policy Objects
==============

The abstract event loop policy base class is defined as follows:

class asyncio.AbstractEventLoopPolicy

   An abstract base class for asyncio policies.

   get_event_loop()

      Get the event loop for the current context.

      Return an event loop object implementing the "AbstractEventLoop"
      interface.

      This method should never return "None".

      Άλλαξε στην έκδοση 3.6.

   set_event_loop(loop)

      Set the event loop for the current context to *loop*.

   new_event_loop()

      Create and return a new event loop object.

      This method should never return "None".

   Αποσύρθηκε στην έκδοση 3.14: The "AbstractEventLoopPolicy" class is
   deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.16.

asyncio ships with the following built-in policies:

class asyncio.DefaultEventLoopPolicy

   The default asyncio policy.  Uses "SelectorEventLoop" on Unix and
   "ProactorEventLoop" on Windows.

   There is no need to install the default policy manually. asyncio is
   configured to use the default policy automatically.

   Άλλαξε στην έκδοση 3.8: On Windows, "ProactorEventLoop" is now used
   by default.

   Άλλαξε στην έκδοση 3.14: The "get_event_loop()" method of the
   default asyncio policy now raises a "RuntimeError" if there is no
   set event loop.

   Αποσύρθηκε στην έκδοση 3.14: The "DefaultEventLoopPolicy" class is
   deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.16.

class asyncio.WindowsSelectorEventLoopPolicy

   An alternative event loop policy that uses the "SelectorEventLoop"
   event loop implementation.

   Διαθεσιμότητα: Windows.

   Αποσύρθηκε στην έκδοση 3.14: The "WindowsSelectorEventLoopPolicy"
   class is deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.16.

class asyncio.WindowsProactorEventLoopPolicy

   An alternative event loop policy that uses the "ProactorEventLoop"
   event loop implementation.

   Διαθεσιμότητα: Windows.

   Αποσύρθηκε στην έκδοση 3.14: The "WindowsProactorEventLoopPolicy"
   class is deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.16.


Custom Policies
===============

To implement a new event loop policy, it is recommended to subclass
"DefaultEventLoopPolicy" and override the methods for which custom
behavior is wanted, e.g.:

   class MyEventLoopPolicy(asyncio.DefaultEventLoopPolicy):

       def get_event_loop(self):
           """Get the event loop.

           This may be None or an instance of EventLoop.
           """
           loop = super().get_event_loop()
           # Do something with loop ...
           return loop

   asyncio.set_event_loop_policy(MyEventLoopPolicy())
