Async possible?
if i want to ping many websites at once (using requests library) it takes a long time.. is it possible that it first pings web1, then withoutnwaiting for output, pings 2 then waits till both gets pinged?
Current code: how do i change it?
import requests, sleep websites = ["web1","web2"] while True: for i in websites: try: requests.get(i,timeout=1) except: print('timeout error') time.sleep(0.5)
Takes approx 0.5 to 0.8 or even 1 second to complete 1 loop of while true excluding time.sleep
You can use threading, like this:
from threading import Thread websites = [] def ping_website(link): # add code to ping website for i in websites: t = Thread(target=ping_website, args=(link)) t.start()
also never ever ping a website every half second -- that's on the verge of making the website crash. Make it do every 5 minutes.
@Coder100 oh.. mat1 pinger pings every 5 secs, so i didnt think this will happen xD thx!
try using asyncio
@QuestionableNS ? Any sample code?
@QuantumCodes
import asyncio
async def main():
while True:
print('Hello ...')
await asyncio.sleep(1)
print('... World!')
asyncio.run(main())
i will try and tell. Thx @QuestionableNS
I would try threading, that way you can run a whole bunch of threads.
This way it won't wait for that thread to be done, it will just move on to creating another thread without waiting for that ping to be made.
@InvisibleOne thanks!
Is threading better thatn asyncio? @InvisibleOne
@InvisibleOne wait.....
thread.join()waits. Is there anything wrong?I didn't mean to put that in there, this code was adapted from another program I wrote and I just left that there. @QuantumCodes
I haven't really used asyncio so I don't know which one is better @QuantumCodes
