Dramatiq: background tasks¶
Release v1.17.0. (Installation, Changelog, Discuss, Source Code)
Dramatiq is a background task processing library for Python with a focus on simplicity, reliability and performance.
Here’s what it looks like:
import dramatiq
import requests
@dramatiq.actor
def count_words(url):
response = requests.get(url)
count = len(response.text.split(" "))
print(f"There are {count} words at {url!r}.")
# Synchronously count the words on example.com in the current process
count_words("http://example.com")
# or send the actor a message so that it may perform the count
# later, in a separate process.
count_words.send("http://example.com")
Dramatiq is licensed under the LGPL and it officially supports Python 3.8 and later.
