I have a function def event(...) in my EventHandler class which can be called at arbitrary intervals in my main code. It needs to put all the events that are coming in into a queue and process them one at a time. How do I do this? I've been trying to use the asyncio library to do this, but I have no clue how to do it. My problem is that if I make event async, then I get the error that it was never awaited. If I don't make it async, then I can't call the function that processes the next item in the queue.
async def _event(...): queue_item = await(self._queue.get()) ...I need to be able to call event at any time, but the helper function _event needs to processes the next item in queue one at a time.
How do I solve this?
I tried making event synchronous
def event(...):""" When an event happens, this will add it to the queue. Multiple events can happen, and they will be executed one at a time, as they come in. Later on, we can change this.""" self._queue.put_nowait((flag, *args)) task = self._loop.create_task(self._event()) asyncio.ensure_future(task)but then the error that comes up is that task was not awaited.
Thanks for downvoting my question without saying anything! That really helps me out!
