uselect
-- wait for events on a set of streams¶
This module implements a subset of the corresponding CPython
module,
as described below. For more information, refer to the original
CPython documentation: select
.
This module provides functions to efficiently wait for events on multiple
streams
(select streams which are ready for operations).
Functions¶
-
uselect.
poll
()¶ Create an instance of the Poll class.
-
uselect.
select
(rlist, wlist, xlist[, timeout])¶ Wait for activity on a set of objects.
This function is provided by some MicroPython ports for compatibility and is not efficient. Usage of
Poll
is recommended instead.
class Poll
¶
Methods¶
-
poll.
register
(obj[, eventmask])¶ Register
stream
obj for polling. eventmask is logical OR of:uselect.POLLIN
- data available for readinguselect.POLLOUT
- more data can be written
Note that flags like
uselect.POLLHUP
anduselect.POLLERR
are not valid as input eventmask (these are unsolicited events which will be returned frompoll()
regardless of whether they are asked for). This semantics is per POSIX.eventmask defaults to
uselect.POLLIN | uselect.POLLOUT
.It is OK to call this function multiple times for the same obj. Successive calls will update obj's eventmask to the value of eventmask (i.e. will behave as
modify()
).
-
poll.
unregister
(obj)¶ Unregister obj from polling.
-
poll.
modify
(obj, eventmask)¶ Modify the eventmask for obj. If obj is not registered,
OSError
is raised with error of ENOENT.
-
poll.
poll
(timeout=-1)¶ Wait for at least one of the registered objects to become ready or have an exceptional condition, with optional timeout in milliseconds (if timeout arg is not specified or -1, there is no timeout).
Returns list of (
obj
,event
, ...) tuples. There may be other elements in tuple, depending on a platform and version, so don't assume that its size is 2. Theevent
element specifies which events happened with a stream and is a combination ofuselect.POLL*
constants described above. Note that flagsuselect.POLLHUP
anduselect.POLLERR
can be returned at any time (even if were not asked for), and must be acted on accordingly (the corresponding stream unregistered from poll and likely closed), because otherwise all further invocations ofpoll()
may return immediately with these flags set for this stream again.In case of timeout, an empty list is returned.
Difference to CPython
Tuples returned may contain more than 2 elements as described above.
-
poll.
ipoll
(timeout=-1, flags=0)¶ Like
poll.poll()
, but instead returns an iterator which yields acallee-owned tuple
. This function provides an efficient, allocation-free way to poll on streams.If flags is 1, one-shot behavior for events is employed: streams for which events happened will have their event masks automatically reset (equivalent to
poll.modify(obj, 0)
), so new events for such a stream won't be processed until new mask is set withpoll.modify()
. This behavior is useful for asynchronous I/O schedulers.Difference to CPython
This function is a MicroPython extension.
