Streams {#asyncio-streams}
Source code: Lib/asyncio/streams.py{.interpreted-text role="source"}
Streams are high-level async/await-ready primitives to work with network connections. Streams allow sending and receiving data without using callbacks or low-level protocols and transports.
::: {#asyncio_example_stream} Here is an example of a TCP echo client written using asyncio streams:
import asyncio
async def tcp_echo_client(message):
reader, writer = await asyncio.open_connection(
'127.0.0.1', 8888)
print(f'Send: {message!r}')
writer.write(message.encode())
await writer.drain()
data = await reader.read(100)
print(f'Received: {data.decode()!r}')
print('Close the connection')
writer.close()
await writer.wait_closed()
asyncio.run(tcp_echo_client('Hello World!'))

Stream Functions
The following top-level asyncio functions can be used to create and work with streams:
::::::::: {.function async=""} open_connection(host=None, port=None, *, limit=None, ssl=None, family=0, proto=0, flags=0, sock=None, local_addr=None, server_hostname=None, ssl_handshake_timeout=None, ssl_shutdown_timeout=None, happy_eyeballs_delay=None, interleave=None)
Establish a network connection and return a pair of (reader, writer) objects.
The returned reader and writer objects are instances of StreamReader{.interpreted-text role="class"} and StreamWriter{.interpreted-text role="class"} classes.
limit determines the buffer size limit used by the returned StreamReader{.interpreted-text role="class"} instance. By default the limit is set to 64 KiB.
The rest of the arguments are passed directly to loop.create_connection{.interpreted-text role="meth"}.
:::: note ::: title Note :::
The sock argument transfers ownership of the socket to the StreamWriter{.interpreted-text role="class"} created. To close the socket, call its ~asyncio.StreamWriter.close{.interpreted-text role="meth"} method.
::::
::: versionchanged 3.7 Added the ssl_handshake_timeout parameter. :::
::: versionchanged 3.8 Added the happy_eyeballs_delay and interleave parameters. :::
::: versionchanged 3.10 Removed the loop parameter. :::
::: versionchanged 3.11 Added the ssl_shutdown_timeout parameter. ::: :::::::::
::::::::: {.function async=""} start_server(client_connected_cb, host=None, port=None, *, limit=None, family=socket.AF_UNSPEC, flags=socket.AI_PASSIVE, sock=None, backlog=100, ssl=None, reuse_address=None, reuse_port=None, keep_alive=None, ssl_handshake_timeout=None, ssl_shutdown_timeout=None, start_serving=True)
Start a socket server.
The client_connected_cb callback is called whenever a new client connection is established. It receives a (reader, writer) pair as two arguments, instances of the StreamReader{.interpreted-text role="class"} and StreamWriter{.interpreted-text role="class"} classes.
client_connected_cb can be a plain callable or a coroutine function <coroutine>{.interpreted-text role="ref"}; if it is a coroutine function, it will be automatically scheduled as a Task{.interpreted-text role="class"}.
limit determines the buffer size limit used by the returned StreamReader{.interpreted-text role="class"} instance. By default the limit is set to 64 KiB.
The rest of the arguments are passed directly to loop.create_server{.interpreted-text role="meth"}.
:::: note ::: title Note :::
The sock argument transfers ownership of the socket to the server created. To close the socket, call the server's ~asyncio.Server.close{.interpreted-text role="meth"} method.

Unix Sockets
::::::::: {.function async=""} open_unix_connection(path=None, *, limit=None, ssl=None, sock=None, server_hostname=None, ssl_handshake_timeout=None, ssl_shutdown_timeout=None)
Establish a Unix socket connection and return a pair of (reader, writer).
Similar to open_connection{.interpreted-text role="func"} but operates on Unix sockets.
See also the documentation of loop.create_unix_connection{.interpreted-text role="meth"}.
:::: note ::: title Note :::
The sock argument transfers ownership of the socket to the StreamWriter{.interpreted-text role="class"} created. To close the socket, call its ~asyncio.StreamWriter.close{.interpreted-text role="meth"} method.
::::

:::::::::: {.function async=""} start_unix_server(client_connected_cb, path=None, *, limit=None, sock=None, backlog=100, ssl=None, ssl_handshake_timeout=None, ssl_shutdown_timeout=None, start_serving=True, cleanup_socket=True)
Start a Unix socket server.
Similar to start_server{.interpreted-text role="func"} but works with Unix sockets.
If cleanup_socket is true then the Unix socket will automatically be removed from the filesystem when the server is closed, unless the socket has been replaced after the server has been created.
See also the documentation of loop.create_unix_server{.interpreted-text role="meth"}.

StreamReader
::::::::::: StreamReader
Represents a reader object that provides APIs to read data from the IO stream. As an asynchronous iterable{.interpreted-text role="term"}, the object supports the async for{.interpreted-text role="keyword"} statement.
It is not recommended to instantiate StreamReader objects directly; use open_connection{.interpreted-text role="func"} and start_server{.interpreted-text role="func"} instead.
::: method feed_eof()
Acknowledge the EOF. :::
::: {.method async=""} read(n=-1)
Read up to n bytes from the stream.
If n is not provided or set to -1, read until EOF, then return all read bytes{.interpreted-text role="class"}. If EOF was received and the internal buffer is empty, return an empty bytes object.
If n is 0, return an empty bytes object immediately.
If n is positive, return at most n available bytes as soon as at least 1 byte is available in the internal buffer. If EOF is received before any byte is read, return an empty bytes object.
:::
::: {.method async=""} readline()
Read one line, where "line" is a sequence of bytes ending with \n.
If EOF is received and \n was not found, the method returns partially read data.
If EOF is received and the internal buffer is empty, return an empty bytes object.
:::
::: {.method async=""} readexactly(n)
Read exactly n bytes.
Raise an IncompleteReadError{.interpreted-text role="exc"} if EOF is reached before n can be read. Use the IncompleteReadError.partial{.interpreted-text role="attr"} attribute to get the partially read data.
:::
::::: {.method async=""} readuntil(separator=b'n')
Read data from the stream until separator is found.
On success, the data and separator will be removed from the internal buffer (consumed). Returned data will include the separator at the end.
If the amount of data read exceeds the configured stream limit, a LimitOverrunError{.interpreted-text role="exc"} exception is raised, and the data is left in the internal buffer and can be read again.
If EOF is reached before the complete separator is found, an IncompleteReadError{.interpreted-text role="exc"} exception is raised, and the internal buffer is reset. The IncompleteReadError.partial{.interpreted-text role="attr"} attribute may contain a portion of the separator.
The separator may also be a tuple of separators. In this case the return value will be the shortest possible that has any separator as the suffix. For the purposes of LimitOverrunError{.interpreted-text role="exc"}, the shortest possible separator is considered to be the one that matched.
::: versionadded 3.5.2 :::
::: versionchanged 3.13
The separator parameter may now be a tuple{.interpreted-text role="class"} of separators.
:::
:::::
::: method at_eof()
Return True if the buffer is empty and feed_eof{.interpreted-text role="meth"} was called.
:::
:::::::::::
StreamWriter
:::::::::::::::::: StreamWriter Represents a writer object that provides APIs to write data to the IO stream.
It is not recommended to instantiate StreamWriter objects directly; use open_connection{.interpreted-text role="func"} and start_server{.interpreted-text role="func"} instead.
::: method write(data)
The method attempts to write the data to the underlying socket immediately. If that fails, the data is queued in an internal write buffer until it can be sent.
The data buffer should be a bytes, bytearray, or C-contiguous one-dimensional memoryview object.
The method should be used along with the drain() method:
stream.write(data)
await stream.drain()
:::
::: method writelines(data)
The method writes a list (or any iterable) of bytes to the underlying socket immediately. If that fails, the data is queued in an internal write buffer until it can be sent.
The method should be used along with the drain() method:
stream.writelines(lines)
await stream.drain()
:::
::: method close()
The method closes the stream and the underlying socket.
The method should be used, though not mandatory, along with the wait_closed() method:
stream.close()
await stream.wait_closed()
:::
::: method can_write_eof()
Return True if the underlying transport supports the write_eof{.interpreted-text role="meth"} method, False otherwise.
:::
::: method write_eof()
Close the write end of the stream after the buffered write data is flushed. :::
::: attribute transport
Return the underlying asyncio transport. :::
::: method get_extra_info(name, default=None)
Access optional transport information; see BaseTransport.get_extra_info{.interpreted-text role="meth"} for details.
:::
::: {.method async=""} drain()
Wait until it is appropriate to resume writing to the stream. Example:
writer.write(data)
await writer.drain()
This is a flow control method that interacts with the underlying IO write buffer. When the size of the buffer reaches the high watermark, drain() blocks until the size of the buffer is drained down to the low watermark and writing can be resumed. When there is nothing to wait for, the drain{.interpreted-text role="meth"} returns immediately.
:::
::::: {.method async=""} start_tls(sslcontext, *, server_hostname=None, ssl_handshake_timeout=None, ssl_shutdown_timeout=None)
Upgrade an existing stream-based connection to TLS.
Parameters:
- sslcontext: a configured instance of
~ssl.SSLContext{.interpreted-text role="class"}. - server_hostname: sets or overrides the host name that the target server's certificate will be matched against.
- ssl_handshake_timeout is the time in seconds to wait for the TLS handshake to complete before aborting the connection.
60.0seconds ifNone(default). - ssl_shutdown_timeout is the time in seconds to wait for the SSL shutdown to complete before aborting the connection.
30.0seconds ifNone(default).
::: versionadded 3.11 :::
::: versionchanged 3.12 Added the ssl_shutdown_timeout parameter. ::: :::::
:::: method is_closing()
Return True if the stream is closed or in the process of being closed.
::: versionadded 3.7 ::: ::::
:::: {.method async=""} wait_closed()
Wait until the stream is closed.
Should be called after close{.interpreted-text role="meth"} to wait until the underlying connection is closed, ensuring that all data has been flushed before e.g. exiting the program.
::: versionadded 3.7 ::: :::: ::::::::::::::::::
