# ポリシー

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()`.

ポリシーオブジェクトは `AbstractEventLoopPolicy` 抽象基底クラスで定義された API を実装しなければなりません。

## ポリシーの取得と設定

以下の関数は現在のプロセスに対するポリシーの取得や設定をするために使われます:

asyncio.get_event_loop_policy()

  プロセス全体にわたる現在のポリシーを返します。

asyncio.set_event_loop_policy(policy)

  プロセス全体にわたる現在のポリシーを policy に設定します。

  policy が `None` の場合、デフォルトポリシーが現在のポリシーに戻されます。

## ポリシーオブジェクト

イベントループポリシーの抽象基底クラスは以下のように定義されています:

class asyncio.AbstractEventLoopPolicy

  asyncio ポリシーの抽象基底クラスです。

  get_event_loop()

    現在のコンテキストのイベントループを取得します。

    `AbstractEventLoop` のインターフェースを実装したイベントループオブジェクトを返します。

    このメソッドは `None` を返してはいけません。

    バージョン 3.6 で変更.

  set_event_loop(loop)

    現在のコンテキストにイベントループ loop を設定します。

  new_event_loop()

    新しいイベントループオブジェクトを生成して返します。

    このメソッドは `None` を返してはいけません。

  get_child_watcher()

    Get a child process watcher object.

    Return a watcher object implementing the `AbstractChildWatcher` interface.

    This function is Unix specific.

  set_child_watcher(watcher)

    Set the current child process watcher to watcher.

    This function is Unix specific.

asyncio は以下の組み込みポリシーを提供します:

class asyncio.DefaultEventLoopPolicy

  デフォルトの asyncio ポリシーです。Unix では `SelectorEventLoop` 、Windows では `ProactorEventLoop` を使います。

  デフォルトのポリシーを手動でインストールする必要はありません。 asyncio はデフォルトポリシーを使うように自動的に構成されます。

  バージョン 3.8 で変更: Windows では `ProactorEventLoop` がデフォルトで使われるようになりました。

  注釈

  In Python versions 3.10.9, 3.11.1 and 3.12 the `get_event_loop()` method of the default asyncio policy emits a `DeprecationWarning` if there is no running event loop and no current loop is set. In some future Python release this will become an error.

## Process Watchers

A process watcher allows customization of how an event loop monitors child processes on Unix. Specifically, the event loop needs to know when a child process has exited.

In asyncio, child processes are created with `create_subprocess_exec()` and `loop.subprocess_exec()` functions.

asyncio defines the `AbstractChildWatcher` abstract base class, which child watchers should implement, and has four different implementations: `ThreadedChildWatcher` (configured to be used by default), `MultiLoopChildWatcher`, `SafeChildWatcher`, and `FastChildWatcher`.

See also the Subprocess and Threads section.

The following two functions can be used to customize the child process watcher implementation used by the asyncio event loop:

asyncio.get_child_watcher()

  Return the current child watcher for the current policy.

asyncio.set_child_watcher(watcher)

  Set the current child watcher to watcher for the current policy. watcher must implement methods defined in the `AbstractChildWatcher` base class.

注釈

Third-party event loops implementations might not support custom child watchers. For such event loops, using `set_child_watcher()` might be prohibited or have no effect.

class asyncio.AbstractChildWatcher
  add_child_handler(pid, callback, *args)

    Register a new child handler.

    Arrange for `callback(pid, returncode, *args)` to be called when a process with PID equal to pid terminates. Specifying another callback for the same process replaces the previous handler.

    The callback callable must be thread-safe.

  remove_child_handler(pid)

    Removes the handler for process with PID equal to pid.

    The function returns `True` if the handler was successfully removed, `False` if there was nothing to remove.

  attach_loop(loop)

    Attach the watcher to an event loop.

    If the watcher was previously attached to an event loop, then it is first detached before attaching to the new loop.

    Note: loop may be `None`.

  is_active()

    Return `True` if the watcher is ready to use.

    Spawning a subprocess with inactive current child watcher raises `RuntimeError`.

    バージョン 3.8 で追加.

  close()

    Close the watcher.

    This method has to be called to ensure that underlying resources are cleaned-up.

class asyncio.ThreadedChildWatcher

  This implementation starts a new waiting thread for every subprocess spawn.

  It works reliably even when the asyncio event loop is run in a non-main OS thread.

  There is no noticeable overhead when handling a big number of children (O(1) each time a child terminates), but starting a thread per process requires extra memory.

  This watcher is used by default.

  バージョン 3.8 で追加.

class asyncio.MultiLoopChildWatcher

  This implementation registers a `SIGCHLD` signal handler on instantiation. That can break third-party code that installs a custom handler for `SIGCHLD` signal.

  The watcher avoids disrupting other code spawning processes by polling every process explicitly on a `SIGCHLD` signal.

  There is no limitation for running subprocesses from different threads once the watcher is installed.

  The solution is safe but it has a significant overhead when handling a big number of processes (O(n) each time a `SIGCHLD` is received).

  バージョン 3.8 で追加.

class asyncio.SafeChildWatcher

  This implementation uses active event loop from the main thread to handle `SIGCHLD` signal. If the main thread has no running event loop another thread cannot spawn a subprocess (`RuntimeError` is raised).

  The watcher avoids disrupting other code spawning processes by polling every process explicitly on a `SIGCHLD` signal.

  This solution is as safe as `MultiLoopChildWatcher` and has the same O(n) complexity but requires a running event loop in the main thread to work.

class asyncio.FastChildWatcher

  This implementation reaps every terminated processes by calling `os.waitpid(-1)` directly, possibly breaking other code spawning processes and waiting for their termination.

  There is no noticeable overhead when handling a big number of children (O(1) each time a child terminates).

  This solution requires a running event loop in the main thread to work, as `SafeChildWatcher`.

class asyncio.PidfdChildWatcher

  This implementation polls process file descriptors (pidfds) to await child process termination. In some respects, `PidfdChildWatcher` is a "Goldilocks" child watcher implementation. It doesn't require signals or threads, doesn't interfere with any processes launched outside the event loop, and scales linearly with the number of subprocesses launched by the event loop. The main disadvantage is that pidfds are specific to Linux, and only work on recent (5.3+) kernels.

  バージョン 3.9 で追加.

## ポリシーのカスタマイズ

新しいイベントループのポリシーを実装するためには、以下に示すように `DefaultEventLoopPolicy` を継承して振る舞いを変更したいメソッドをオーバーライドすることが推奨されます。:

    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())
