Facet

Service manager for asyncio (and classic blocking code since version 0.10.0).

Github actions status for master branch Codecov coverage for master branch Pypi version Pypi downloads count

Reasons

Asyncio

mode tries to do too much job:

  • Messy callbacks (on_start, on_started, on_crashed, etc.).
  • Inheritance restrict naming and forces super() calls.
  • Forced logging module and logging configuration.

Blocking code

  • ExitStack is too low-level to manage services.
  • Common api for async and blocking worlds.

Features

  • Simple (start, stop, dependencies and add_task).
  • Configurable via inheritance (graceful shutdown timeout).
  • Mixin (no super() required).
  • Requires no runner engine (Worker, Runner, etc.) just plain await or async with/with.

License

facet is offered under MIT license.

Requirements

  • python 3.11+

Last version with python 3.6+ support is 0.9.1

Usage

Asyncio

import asyncio
from facet import AsyncioServiceMixin

class B(AsyncioServiceMixin):
    def __init__(self):
        self.value = 0

    async def start(self):
        self.value += 1
        print("b started")

    async def stop(self):
        self.value -= 1
        print("b stopped")

class A(AsyncioServiceMixin):
    def __init__(self):
        self.b = B()

    @property
    def dependencies(self):
        return [self.b]

    async def start(self):
        print("a started")

    async def stop(self):
        print("a stopped")

asyncio.run(A().run())

This will produce:

b started
a started

Start and stop order determined by strict rule: dependencies must be started first and stopped last. That is why B starts before A. Since A may use B in start routine.

Hit ctrl-c and you will see:

a stopped
b stopped
Traceback (most recent call last):
  ...
KeyboardInterrupt

Stop order is reversed, since A may use B in stop routine. Any raised exception propagates to upper context. facet do not trying to be too smart.

Service can be used as a context manager. Instead of

asyncio.run(A().run())

Code can look like:

async def main():
    async with A() as a:
        assert a.b.value == 1
        await a.wait()

asyncio.run(main())

Another service feature is add_task method:

class A(AsyncioServiceMixin):
    async def task(self):
        await asyncio.sleep(1)
        print("task done")

    async def start(self):
        self.add_task(self.task())
        print("start done")

asyncio.run(A().run())

This will lead to background task creation and handling:

start done
task done

Any non-handled exception on background task will lead the whole service stack crashed. This is also a key feature to fall down fast and loud.

All background tasks will be cancelled and awaited on service stop.

You can manage dependencies start/stop to start sequently, parallel or mixed. Like this:

class A(AsyncioServiceMixin):
    def __init__(self):
        self.b = B()
        self.c = C()
        self.d = D()

    @property
    def dependencies(self):
        return [
            [self.b, self.c],
            self.d,
        ]

This leads to first b and c starts parallel, after they successfully started d will try to start, and then a itself start will be called. And on stop routine a stop called first, then d stop, then both b and c stops parallel.

The rule here is first nesting level is sequential, second nesting level is parallel

Blocking code

Since version 0.10.0 facet can be used in blocking code with pretty same rules. But with limited API. For example:

from facet import BlockingServiceMixin

class B(BlockingServiceMixin):
    def __init__(self):
        self.value = 0

    def start(self):
        self.value += 1
        print("b started")

    def stop(self):
        self.value -= 1
        print("b stopped")

class A(BlockingServiceMixin):
    def __init__(self):
        self.b = B()

    @property
    def dependencies(self):
        return [self.b]

    def start(self):
        print("a started")

    def stop(self):
        print("a stopped")

with A() as a:
    assert a.b.value == 1

This will produce:

b started
a started
a stopped
b stopped

As you can see, there is no wait method. Waiting and background tasks are on user shoulders and technically can be implemented with concurrent.futures module. But facet do not provide such functionality, since there are a lot of ways to do it: threading/multiprocessing and their primitives.

Also, there are no «sequential, parallel and mixed starts/stops for dependencies» feature. So, just put dependencies in dependencies property as a plain list and they will be started/stopped sequentially.

API

Asyncio

Here is public methods you get on inheritance/mixin:

start

async def start(self):
    pass

Start routine.

stop

async def stop(self):
    pass

Stop routine.

dependencies

@property
def dependencies(self) -> list[AsyncioServiceMixin | list[AsyncioServiceMixin]]:
    return []

Should return iterable of current service dependencies instances.

add_task

def add_task(self, coroutine: Coroutine[Any, Any, Any]) -> asyncio.Task[Any]:

Add background task.

run

async def run(self) -> None:

Run service and wait until it stop.

wait

async def wait(self) -> None:

Wait for service stop. Service must be started. This is useful when you use service as a context manager.

graceful_shutdown_timeout

@property
def graceful_shutdown_timeout(self) -> int:
    return 10

How much total time in seconds wait for stop routines. This property can be overriden with subclass:

class CustomServiceMixin(AsyncioServiceMixin):
    @property
    def graceful_shutdown_timeout(self):
        return 60

running

@property
def running(self) -> bool:

Check if service is running

Blocking code

start

def start(self):
    pass

Start routine.

stop

def stop(self):
    pass

Stop routine.

dependencies

@property
def dependencies(self) -> list[BlockingServiceMixin | list[BlockingServiceMixin]]:
    return []

Should return iterable of current service dependencies instances.

running

@property
def running(self) -> bool:

Check if service is running
