aioreadline
Python has a builtin readline module. However, the builtin module is difficult to use in async Python code. This module provides an interface around the async-compatible functions of libreadline using a ctypes wrapper.
Example
import asyncio, atexit
async def _main():
while True:
line = await aiorl.getLine()
if line is None or line == b"quit":
aiorl.stop()
loop.stop()
break
elif len(line) > 0:
aiorl.add_history(line)
print(line)
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.create_task(_main())
aiorl = AIOReadline(prompt="> ", loop=loop, history_file=".aioreadline_history")
atexit.register(lambda: aiorl.stop())
try:
loop.run_forever()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
loop.stop()
