18.5.7. Synchronization primitives¶
Locks:
Semaphores:
asyncio lock API was designed to be close to classes of the threading
module (Lock
, Event
,
Condition
, Semaphore
,
BoundedSemaphore
), but it has no timeout parameter. The
asyncio.wait_for()
function can be used to cancel a task after a timeout.
18.5.7.1. Locks¶
18.5.7.1.1. Lock¶
-
class
asyncio.
Lock
(*, loop=None)¶ Primitive lock objects.
A primitive lock is a synchronization primitive that is not owned by a particular coroutine when locked. A primitive lock is in one of two states, ‘locked’ or ‘unlocked’.
It is created in the unlocked state. It has two basic methods,
acquire()
andrelease()
. When the state is unlocked, acquire() changes the state to locked and returns immediately. When the state is locked, acquire() blocks until a call to release() in another coroutine changes it to unlocked, then the acquire() call resets it to locked and returns. The release() method should only be called in the locked state; it changes the state to unlocked and returns immediately. If an attempt is made to release an unlocked lock, aRuntimeError
will be raised.When more than one coroutine is blocked in acquire() waiting for the state to turn to unlocked, only one coroutine proceeds when a release() call resets the state to unlocked; first coroutine which is blocked in acquire() is being processed.
acquire()
is a coroutine and should be called withyield from
.Locks also support the context management protocol.
(yield from lock)
should be used as the context manager expression.This class is not thread safe.
Usage:
lock = Lock() ... yield from lock try: ... finally: lock.release()
Context manager usage:
lock = Lock() ... with (yield from lock): ...
Lock objects can be tested for locking state:
if not lock.locked(): yield from lock else: # lock is acquired ...
-
locked
()¶ Return
True
if the lock is acquired.
-
coroutine
acquire
()¶ Acquire a lock.
This method blocks until the lock is unlocked, then sets it to locked and returns
True
.This method is a coroutine.
-
release
()¶ Release a lock.
When the lock is locked, reset it to unlocked, and return. If any other coroutines are blocked waiting for the lock to become unlocked, allow exactly one of them to proceed.
在未锁定的锁调用时,会引发
RuntimeError
异常。There is no return value.
-
18.5.7.1.2. Event¶
-
class
asyncio.
Event
(*, loop=None)¶ An Event implementation, asynchronous equivalent to
threading.Event
.Class implementing event objects. An event manages a flag that can be set to true with the
set()
method and reset to false with theclear()
method. Thewait()
method blocks until the flag is true. The flag is initially false.This class is not thread safe.
-
clear
()¶ Reset the internal flag to false. Subsequently, coroutines calling
wait()
will block untilset()
is called to set the internal flag to true again.
-
is_set
()¶ Return
True
if and only if the internal flag is true.
-
18.5.7.1.3. Condition¶
-
class
asyncio.
Condition
(lock=None, *, loop=None)¶ A Condition implementation, asynchronous equivalent to
threading.Condition
.This class implements condition variable objects. A condition variable allows one or more coroutines to wait until they are notified by another coroutine.
If the lock argument is given and not
None
, it must be aLock
object, and it is used as the underlying lock. Otherwise, a newLock
object is created and used as the underlying lock.This class is not thread safe.
-
coroutine
acquire
()¶ 获取下层的锁。
This method blocks until the lock is unlocked, then sets it to locked and returns
True
.This method is a coroutine.
-
notify
(n=1)¶ By default, wake up one coroutine waiting on this condition, if any. If the calling coroutine has not acquired the lock when this method is called, a
RuntimeError
is raised.This method wakes up at most n of the coroutines waiting for the condition variable; it is a no-op if no coroutines are waiting.
-
locked
()¶ 如果下层的锁已被获取则返回
True
。
-
notify_all
()¶ Wake up all coroutines waiting on this condition. This method acts like
notify()
, but wakes up all waiting coroutines instead of one. If the calling coroutine has not acquired the lock when this method is called, aRuntimeError
is raised.
-
release
()¶ 释放下层的锁。
When the lock is locked, reset it to unlocked, and return. If any other coroutines are blocked waiting for the lock to become unlocked, allow exactly one of them to proceed.
在未锁定的锁调用时,会引发
RuntimeError
异常。There is no return value.
-
coroutine
wait
()¶ 等待直至收到通知。
If the calling coroutine has not acquired the lock when this method is called, a
RuntimeError
is raised.This method releases the underlying lock, and then blocks until it is awakened by a
notify()
ornotify_all()
call for the same condition variable in another coroutine. Once awakened, it re-acquires the lock and returnsTrue
.This method is a coroutine.

coroutine
18.5.7.2. Semaphores¶
18.5.7.2.1. Semaphore¶
-
class
asyncio.
Semaphore
(value=1, *, loop=None)¶ A Semaphore implementation.
A semaphore manages an internal counter which is decremented by each
acquire()
call and incremented by eachrelease()
call. The counter can never go below zero; whenacquire()
finds that it is zero, it blocks, waiting until some other coroutine callsrelease()
.Semaphores also support the context management protocol.
The optional argument gives the initial value for the internal counter; it defaults to
1
. If the value given is less than0
,ValueError
is raised.This class is not thread safe.
-
coroutine
acquire
()¶ 获取一个信号量。
If the internal counter is larger than zero on entry, decrement it by one and return
True
immediately. If it is zero on entry, block, waiting until some other coroutine has calledrelease()
to make it larger than0
, and then returnTrue
.This method is a coroutine.
-
locked
()¶ 如果信号量对象无法被立即获取则返回
True
。
-
release
()¶ Release a semaphore, incrementing the internal counter by one. When it was zero on entry and another coroutine is waiting for it to become larger than zero again, wake up that coroutine.
-
coroutine
18.5.7.2.2. BoundedSemaphore¶
-
class
asyncio.
BoundedSemaphore
(value=1, *, loop=None)¶ A bounded semaphore implementation. Inherit from
Semaphore
.This raises
ValueError
inrelease()
if it would increase the value above the initial value.
