Asyncio with Django
Your original code woun't work since get_event_loop() method is only shortcut to get_event_loop_policy().get_event_loop() which create&return event loop automatically for main thread only.To make it work right you need to explicitly create and set new event loop for each current thread context:
query : # a query to my modeltasks = [] for record in query: tasks.append(do_something_with_google_calendar(record))loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()asyncio.set_event_loop(loop)loop.run_until_complete(asyncio.wait(tasks))loop.close()You may read more about this stuff here.
It looks that if I do like this, it works:
query : # a query to my modeltasks = [] for record in query: tasks.append(do_something_with_google_calendar(record))loop = asyncio.SelectorEventLoop()asyncio.set_event_loop(loop)loop.run_until_complete(asyncio.wait(tasks))loop.close()I hope it is stable and it will also work fine in UNIX as it does in Windows
