Using async functions for Python tasks can +be much easier and cleaner than using threading.Thread or QThread. + +If you need some CPU-intensive tasks to be executed in parallel, qasync also +provides QEventLoop.run_in_executor which is functionally identical to that +of asyncio. By default QThreadExecutor is used, but any class implementing +the concurrent.futures.Executor interface will work. + +qasync is a fork of asyncqt, which is a fork of quamash. qasync was created +because those are no longer maintained. |
