async-timeout
=============
asyncio-compatible timeout context manager.
Usage example
-------------
The context manager is useful in cases when you want to apply timeout
logic around block of code or in cases when ``asyncio.wait_for()`` is
not suitable. Also it's much faster than ``asyncio.wait_for()``
because ``timeout`` doesn't create a new task.
The ``timeout(timeout, *, loop=None)`` call returns a context manager
that cancels a block on *timeout* expiring::
async with timeout(1.5):
await inner()
1. If ``inner()`` is executed faster than in ``1.5`` seconds nothing
happens.
2. Otherwise ``inner()`` is cancelled internally by sending
``asyncio.CancelledError`` into but ``asyncio.TimeoutError`` is
raised outside of context manager scope.
*timeout* parameter could be ``None`` for skipping timeout functionality.
Context manager has ``.expired`` property for check if timeout happens
exactly in context manager::
async with timeout(1.5) as cm:
await inner()
print(cm.expired)
The property is ``True`` is ``inner()`` execution is cancelled by
timeout context manager.
If ``inner()`` call explicitly raises ``TimeoutError`` ``cm.expired``
is ``False``.
