How to run async code from current class in pymethods #3
Description
From your example we can run async code like this. However, it's not clear to me how I can invoke async functions from the same class. Image I have to call another async method from this, how would I do that?
impl Counter {
async fn incr_async(self_: pyo3::Py<Self>) -> pyo3::PyResult<usize> {
pyo3::Python::with_gil(|gil| {
let mut this = self_.borrow_mut(gil);
this.0 += 1;
Ok(this.0)
})
}
}
Example.
impl Counter {
async fn incr_async(self_: pyo3::Py<Self>) -> pyo3::PyResult<usize> {
pyo3::Python::with_gil(|gil| {
let mut this = self_.borrow_mut(gil);
// This does not compile because the context is sync.
Ok(this.another_sync_method().await)
})
}
}
Also, I cannot return a future here because the gil lifetime will expire. I can use the async_std::task::block_on inside the GIL block but it would be nice to have something cleaner that keeps living on the same async loop.
