asyncio loop + GObject.MainLoop

Question

I have coded something with an asyncio loop:

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
# bla coroutines
loop.run_forever()

and now, someone gives to me a part of code using a GObject.MainLoop()

l = GObject.MainLoop()
# functions using gi.repository I cannot modify, bla
l.run()

I am supposed to integrated this code in the same software than mine (with asyncio). And theses piece of code have to run simultaneously. The parts of code have to exchange objects.

I am not sure of which solution would appropriated or, at least, not too ugly ?

ps: this code has to run on windows OS and python3.4, so I cannot used glub. I supposed I could use threads, but I would to know if there is another way ?

Using thread line under #31623694 : threads = [] t = threading.Thread(target=one_of_function) threads.append(t) t.start() seems working (I did not try to exchange elements yet), but is it clean ? – Amphichroic

You can combine gobject loop with asyncio loop. See my answer for enter link description here – Taffrail

Answer 1

Finaly, it works with 2 threads like in my preceding comment. But the communication between queue (asyncio.Queue and queue.Queue) was really too long. I discovered the janus library (thread-safe queue compatible with asyncio), and it work perfectly.

Could you provide a sample usage? – Pedate
