Description : Real asynchronous file operations for Python with asyncio support
Hello!
Because apt-mirror [1] project is long time unmaintained [2], having many [3].
issues unresolved I started apt-mirror2 [4] project as a drop-in replacement.
for the apt-mirror.
apt-mirror2 is pure Python/asyncio implementation without `subprocess` calls so.
it have some required dependencies which are missing from Debian:
- aiofile
- caio (this is dependency of aiofile - Python bindings for Linux AIO)
- aiolimiter
This issue is for aiofile dependency.
AFAIK there are 2 project that can be used for asyncio file operations in Python:
- aiofile [5]
- aiofiles [6]
aiofiles is more popular project and started 2 years before aiofile. Moreover
it is packaged for Debian and well-maintained. However aiofiles is threaded
wrapper around standard Python file API, but aiofile is real Linux AIO
implementation of the Python asyncio file api.
For now I packaged [7] aiofile as part of the apt-mirror2 project providing
source and debian packages in the apt-mirror2 Packagecloud repository [8].
I will be glad to maintain this package along with apt-mirror2 and all of it's
dependencies.
