An asyncio API for the Tkinter event loop

This module provide an asyncio API for the the Tkinter event loop

License: MIT (see LICENSE)

Requirements

• Unix platform (it doesn’t work on Windows because of the lack of Tcl_CreateFileHandler on this platform)
• Python 3.3 + asyncio or Python >= 3.4

Installation

python setup.py install

Usage

aiotkinter expose an event loop policy (which based on the default event loop policy of asyncio) so the only thing you have to do is to set the global event loop policy with an instance of TkinterEventLoopPolicy:

import asyncio
import aiotkinter

asyncio.set_event_loop_policy(aiotkinter.TkinterEventLoopPolicy())
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_forever()
