# Policies

An event loop policy is a global per-process object that controls the management of the event loop. Each event loop has a default policy, which can be changed and customized using the policy API.

A policy defines the notion of context and manages a separate event loop per context. The default policy defines context to be the current thread.

By using a custom event loop policy, the behavior of `get_event_loop()`, `set_event_loop()`, and `new_event_loop()` functions can be customized.

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.

`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.

## 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`.

    Zmienione w wersji 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`.

  `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 ships with the following built-in policies:

class `asyncio.``DefaultEventLoopPolicy`

  The default asyncio policy. Uses `SelectorEventLoop` on both Unix and Windows platforms.

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

class `asyncio.``WindowsProactorEventLoopPolicy`

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

  Availability: Windows.

## 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 two different implementations: `SafeChildWatcher` (configured to be used by default) 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.

Informacja

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`.

  `close`()

    Close the watcher.

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

class `asyncio.``SafeChildWatcher`

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

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

  asyncio uses this safe implementation by default.

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).

## 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())
