Time cost difference between opening a new thread to run requests and aiohttp.ClientSession for async IO?












0















I understood aiohttp supports the async IO so it's completely single thread. But run_in_executor sort of starts a new thread. But I tested for a task with 1000 downloads, it seems the difference is rather insignificant. But I assume aiohttp should be much faster cause the thread cost. Did I do something wrong?



async def get(url):
async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
async with session.get(url) as resp:
print(url, resp.status)
print(url, await resp.text())

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
tasks = [
get("http://www.google.com"),
get("http://www.google.com")
]
loop.run_until_complete(asyncio.wait(tasks))
loop.close()




async def get_via_thread(url):
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
try:
response = await loop.run_in_executor(None, functools.partial(requests.get, url=url))

          Problem probably somewhere in your benchmark. It's hard to say where exactly since you didn't provide one to reproduce :)



          As example, you can take a look at one recent question where OP tried to compare threads and coroutines and got no difference and answer where this result explained and fix provided.

          • wow thank you. I actually did not see that question, but that answer answered quite well. It seems my assumption is right just my test has to be improved somehow.
