The aiter() function in Python returns an asynchronous iterator object for an asynchronous iterable. It allows you to iterate over asynchronous sequences or streams of data. This function is typically used with asynchronous for loops to handle asynchronous operations in a non-blocking manner.
Parameter Values
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| obj | An async iterable object which supports asynchronous iteration (has an __aiter__ method). |
Return Values
The aiter() function returns an asynchronous iterator object.
How to Use aiter() in Python
Example 1:
The aiter() function creates an asynchronous iterable object from an asynchronous iterator.
async def async_generator():
for i in range(5):
yield i
async_iter = aiter(async_generator())
Example 2:
It's mainly used in asynchronous programming when working with asynchronous iterators.
async def async_iterator():
for i in range(3):
yield i
aiter_obj = aiter(async_iterator())
Example 3:
The aiter() function is used to convert an object into an asynchronous iterable.
async def custom_async_iterator():
for i in range(2):
yield i
async_iterable = aiter(custom_async_iterator())
