什么是异步编程

异步编程是一种编程范式，允许程序在等待某些操作（如I/O操作）完成时，不阻塞程序的执行，而是继续执行其他任务。这种方式特别适合处理大量并发请求和I/O密集型任务。

同步 vs 异步

同步编程：

import time

def sync_task():
    print("开始任务")
    time.sleep(2)  # 模拟耗时操作
    print("任务完成")

# 执行多个任务
for i in range(3):
    sync_task()
# 总耗时：6秒

异步编程：

import asyncio

async def async_task():
    print("开始任务")
    await asyncio.sleep(2)  # 模拟异步耗时操作
    print("任务完成")

# 执行多个任务
async def main():
    tasks = [async_task() for _ in range(3)]
    await asyncio.gather(*tasks)

asyncio.run(main())
# 总耗时：2秒

Python异步编程基础

核心关键字

1. async/await

• async def：定义异步函数（协程函数）
• await：等待异步操作完成

async def fetch_data():
    # 模拟网络请求
    await asyncio.sleep(1)
    return "数据获取完成"

async def main():
    result = await fetch_data()
    print(result)

2. 协程（Coroutine）

协程是可以暂停和恢复执行的函数：

async def my_coroutine():
    print("协程开始")
    await asyncio.sleep(1)
    print("协程结束")
    return "结果"

# 创建协程对象
coro = my_coroutine()
# 运行协程
result = asyncio.run(coro)

asyncio核心概念

1. 事件循环（Event Loop）

事件循环是异步编程的核心，负责调度和执行协程：

import asyncio

# 方式1：使用asyncio.run()（推荐）
asyncio.run(main())

# 方式2：手动管理事件循环
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
try:
    loop.run_until_complete(main())
finally:
    loop.close()

2. 任务（Task）

Task是对协程的封装，可以并发执行：

async def worker(name, delay):
    print(f"Worker {name} 开始")
    await asyncio.sleep(delay)
    print(f"Worker {name} 完成")
    return f"结果-{name}"

async def main():
    # 创建任务
    task1 = asyncio.create_task(worker("A", 2))
    task2 = asyncio.create_task(worker("B", 1))
    
    # 等待所有任务完成
    results = await asyncio.gather(task1, task2)
    print(f"所有结果: {results}")

3. 并发执行

asyncio.gather()

async def main():
    # 并发执行多个协程
    results = await asyncio.gather(
        fetch_data("API1"),
        fetch_data("API2"),
        fetch_data("API3")
    )
    return results

asyncio.wait()

async def main():
    tasks = [
        asyncio.create_task(worker(f"Worker-{i}", i))
        for i in range(5)
    ]
    
    done, pending = await asyncio.wait(
        tasks, 
        return_when=asyncio.FIRST_COMPLETED
    )
    
    # 处理完成的任务
    for task in done:
        result = await task
        print(f"完成: {result}")

异步编程实战技巧

1. 异步HTTP请求

使用aiohttp进行异步HTTP请求：

import aiohttp
import asyncio

async def fetch_url(session, url):
    try:
        async with session.get(url) as response:
            return await response.text()
    except Exception as e:
        return f"错误: {e}"

async def fetch_multiple_urls(urls):
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        tasks = [fetch_url(session, url) for url in urls]
        results = await asyncio.gather(*tasks)
        return results

# 使用示例
urls = [
    "https://httpbin.org/delay/1",
    "https://httpbin.org/delay/2",
    "https://httpbin.org/delay/3"
]

results = asyncio.run(fetch_multiple_urls(urls))

2. 异步文件操作

使用aiofiles进行异步文件操作：

import aiofiles
import asyncio

async def read_file_async(filename):
    async with aiofiles.open(filename, 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f:
        content = await f.read()
        return content

async def write_file_async(filename, content):
    async with aiofiles.open(filename, 'w', encoding='utf-8') as f:
        await f.write(content)

async def process_files():
    # 并发读取多个文件
    files = ['file1.txt', 'file2.txt', 'file3.txt']
    tasks = [read_file_async(f) for f in files]
    contents = await asyncio.gather(*tasks)
    
    # 处理内容并写入新文件
    processed_content = '\n'.join(contents)
    await write_file_async('output.txt', processed_content)

3. 异步数据库操作

使用asyncpg进行异步PostgreSQL操作：

import asyncpg
import asyncio

async def fetch_users(pool):
    async with pool.acquire() as connection:
        rows = await connection.fetch("SELECT * FROM users")
        return [dict(row) for row in rows]

async def insert_user(pool, name, email):
    async with pool.acquire() as connection:
        await connection.execute(
            "INSERT INTO users (name, email) VALUES ($1, $2)",
            name, email
        )

async def database_operations():
    # 创建连接池
    pool = await asyncpg.create_pool(
        "postgresql://user:password@localhost/dbname"
    )
    
    try:
        # 并发执行数据库操作
        await asyncio.gather(
            insert_user(pool, "Alice", "alice@example.com"),
            insert_user(pool, "Bob", "bob@example.com"),
            insert_user(pool, "Charlie", "charlie@example.com")
        )
        
        # 获取所有用户
        users = await fetch_users(pool)
        print(f"用户列表: {users}")
        
    finally:
        await pool.close()

性能优化与最佳实践

1. 连接池管理

class AsyncHTTPClient:
    def __init__(self):
        self.session = None
    
    async def __aenter__(self):
        connector = aiohttp.TCPConnector(
            limit=100,  # 总连接池大小
            limit_per_host=30,  # 每个主机的连接数
            ttl_dns_cache=300,  # DNS缓存时间
            use_dns_cache=True
        )
        
        timeout = aiohttp.ClientTimeout(total=30)
        self.session = aiohttp.ClientSession(
            connector=connector,
            timeout=timeout
        )
        return self
    
    async def __aexit__(self, exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb):
        if self.session:
            await self.session.close()
    
    async def get(self, url):
        async with self.session.get(url) as response:
            return await response.json()

# 使用示例
async def main():
    async with AsyncHTTPClient() as client:
        tasks = [client.get(f"https://api.example.com/data/{i}") 
                for i in range(100)]
        results = await asyncio.gather(*tasks)
        return results

2. 错误处理和重试机制

import asyncio
import random
from typing import Optional

async def retry_async(
    coro_func, 
    max_retries: int = 3, 
    delay: float = 1.0,
    backoff_factor: float = 2.0
):
    """异步重试装饰器"""
    for attempt in range(max_retries + 1):
        try:
            return await coro_func()
        except Exception as e:
            if attempt == max_retries:
                raise e
            
            wait_time = delay * (backoff_factor ** attempt)
            print(f"重试 {attempt + 1}/{max_retries}, 等待 {wait_time}s")
            await asyncio.sleep(wait_time)

async def unreliable_api_call():
    """模拟不稳定的API调用"""
    if random.random() < 0.7:  # 70%失败率
        raise Exception("API调用失败")
    return "成功获取数据"

async def main():
    try:
        result = await retry_async(unreliable_api_call, max_retries=3)
        print(f"结果: {result}")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"最终失败: {e}")

3. 限流和并发控制

import asyncio
from asyncio import Semaphore

class RateLimiter:
    def __init__(self, max_concurrent: int = 10):
        self.semaphore = Semaphore(max_concurrent)
    
    async def __aenter__(self):
        await self.semaphore.acquire()
        return self
    
    async def __aexit__(self, exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb):
        self.semaphore.release()

async def limited_task(rate_limiter, task_id):
    async with rate_limiter:
        print(f"任务 {task_id} 开始执行")
        await asyncio.sleep(1)  # 模拟工作
        print(f"任务 {task_id} 完成")
        return f"结果-{task_id}"

async def main():
    rate_limiter = RateLimiter(max_concurrent=3)
    
    tasks = [
        limited_task(rate_limiter, i) 
        for i in range(10)
    ]
    
    results = await asyncio.gather(*tasks)
    print(f"所有结果: {results}")

实战应用场景

1. Web爬虫

import aiohttp
import asyncio
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import time

class AsyncWebScraper:
    def __init__(self, max_concurrent=10):
        self.semaphore = asyncio.Semaphore(max_concurrent)
        self.session = None
    
    async def __aenter__(self):
        self.session = aiohttp.ClientSession()
        return self
    
    async def __aexit__(self, exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb):
        if self.session:
            await self.session.close()
    
    async def scrape_page(self, url):
        async with self.semaphore:
            try:
                async with self.session.get(url) as response:
                    html = await response.text()
                    soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser')
                    title = soup.find('title')
                    return {
                        'url': url,
                        'title': title.text if title else 'No title',
                        'status': response.status
                    }
            except Exception as e:
                return {'url': url, 'error': str(e)}
    
    async def scrape_multiple(self, urls):
        tasks = [self.scrape_page(url) for url in urls]
        return await asyncio.gather(*tasks)

# 使用示例
async def main():
    urls = [
        'https://example.com',
        'https://httpbin.org',
        'https://github.com',
        # 添加更多URL
    ]
    
    start_time = time.time()
    
    async with AsyncWebScraper(max_concurrent=5) as scraper:
        results = await scraper.scrape_multiple(urls)
    
    end_time = time.time()
    
    print(f"爬取完成，耗时: {end_time - start_time:.2f}秒")
    for result in results:
        print(result)

2. 实时数据处理

import asyncio
import json
from datetime import datetime

class AsyncDataProcessor:
    def __init__(self):
        self.queue = asyncio.Queue()
        self.processed_count = 0
    
    async def producer(self, data_source):
        """数据生产者"""
        for item in data_source:
            await self.queue.put(item)
            await asyncio.sleep(0.1)  # 模拟数据到达间隔
        
        # 发送结束信号
        await self.queue.put(None)
    
    async def consumer(self, consumer_id):
        """数据消费者"""
        while True:
            item = await self.queue.get()
            
            if item is None:
                # 结束信号，重新放回队列供其他消费者使用
                await self.queue.put(None)
                break
            
            # 处理数据
            processed_item = await self.process_item(item, consumer_id)
            self.processed_count += 1
            
            print(f"消费者 {consumer_id} 处理: {processed_item}")
            self.queue.task_done()
    
    async def process_item(self, item, consumer_id):
        """处理单个数据项"""
        # 模拟处理时间
        await asyncio.sleep(0.5)
        
        return {
            'original': item,
            'processed_by': consumer_id,
            'processed_at': datetime.now().isoformat(),
            'processed_data': item * 2 if isinstance(item, (int, float)) else f"processed_{item}"
        }
    
    async def run(self, data_source, num_consumers=3):
        """运行数据处理管道"""
        # 启动生产者
        producer_task = asyncio.create_task(
            self.producer(data_source)
        )
        
        # 启动多个消费者
        consumer_tasks = [
            asyncio.create_task(self.consumer(f"consumer_{i}"))
            for i in range(num_consumers)
        ]
        
        # 等待所有任务完成
        await asyncio.gather(producer_task, *consumer_tasks)
        
        print(f"处理完成，总共处理了 {self.processed_count} 个项目")

# 使用示例
async def main():
    processor = AsyncDataProcessor()
    
    # 模拟数据源
    data_source = list(range(1, 21))  # 1到20的数字
    
    await processor.run(data_source, num_consumers=3)

asyncio.run(main())
