devel/py-qasync 0.28.0 FreeBSD

qasync allows coroutines to be used in PyQt/PySide applications by providing an implementation of the PEP 3156 event loop.

With qasync, you can use asyncio functionalities directly inside Qt app's event loop, in the main thread. Using async functions for Python tasks can be much easier and cleaner than using threading.Thread or QThread.

If you need some CPU-intensive tasks to be executed in parallel, qasync also provides QEventLoop.run_in_executor which is functionally identical to that of asyncio. By default QThreadExecutor is used, but any class implementing the concurrent.futures.Executor interface will work.

qasync is a fork of asyncqt, which is a fork of quamash. qasync was created because those are no longer maintained.
