# LightAsync

LightAsync aims to be a **fast**, **lightweight**, **cross platform** and

**multiple GUI toolkit** library for asynchronous IO written in Python using

Enhanced Generators as described in

[PEP 342](http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0342/). 

## Working

 * Platforms:

 	* GLib

 	* Epoll

 * Enhanced Generators (PEP 342) - quick and dirty

## ToDo:

 * Python 2 Support

 * Something like Tornado's stream class

 * Cleanup

 * Platforms:

 	* Py(Side|QT)?

 	* ... 

 

# Enhanced Generator (PEP 342)

	def asynchronous():

		...

		return Asynchronous()

	

	

	def function_2():

		return Event | Condition | Timeout | Asynchronous | Callback | ...

		

	@asynchronous

	def function_1():

		result = yield function_2(*arguments, **key_word_argument)

					   | - Event: Wait until event occurs and then continue

					   |          execution. Result will be the arguments passed to

					   |		  the event handler.

					   | - Condition: Wait until the condition becomes active and

					   |              continue execution after that. Result will be

					   |			  `None`.

					   | - Timeout: Wait until timeouts time delta is over and then

					   |            continue execution. Result will be `None`

					   | - Asynchronous: Wait until an other asynchronous function

					   |				 has finished and pass its result to result.

					   | - Callback: Wait until callback is called and pass the

					   |			 arguments to result.

					   | - ...: Every other Python object will be stored in the

					   |        asynchronous object's progress variable and could

					   |		be used to dispatch the progress of a certain task.
