Why no call_at_threadsafe and call_later_threadsafe?
python-3.x, python-asyncio
Solution
Simply use `loop.call_soon_threadsafe` to schedule `loop.call_later`:
loop.call_soon_threadsafe(loop.call_later, 1, print, 'bomb')
Problem
I'm using Python 3.5.2 in Windows 32bits and aware that asyncio call_at is not threadsafe, hence following code won't print 'bomb' unless I uncomment the line `loop._write_to_self()`. ``` import asyncio import threading def bomb(loop): loop.call_later(1, print, 'bomb') print('submitted') # loop._write_to_self() if __name__ == '__main__': loop = asyncio.get_event_loop() threading.Timer(2, bomb, args=(loop,)).start() loop.run_forever() ``` However I couldn't find a piece of information about why `call_at_threadsafe` and `call_later_threadsafe` is implemented. Is the reason ever exists?
