I have two processes; a main process and a subprocess. The main process is running an asyncio
event loop, and starts the subprocess. I want to start another asyncio event loop in the subprocess. I'm using the aioprocessing
module to launch the subprocess.
The subprocess function is:
def subprocess_code():
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
@asyncio.coroutine
def f():
for i in range(10):
print(i)
yield from asyncio.sleep(1)
loop.run_until_complete(f())
But I get an error:
loop.run_until_complete(f())
File "/usr/lib/python3.4/asyncio/base_events.py", line 271, in run_until_complete
self.run_forever()
File "/usr/lib/python3.4/asyncio/base_events.py", line 239, in run_forever
raise RuntimeError('Event loop is running.')
RuntimeError: Event loop is running.
Is it possible to start a new, or restart the existing, asyncio
event loop in the subprocess? If so, how?
