From the depths of the sea, where darkness meets vastness, emerges Leviathan: an unyielding force of speed and power. In a world where the arcane and the agile intertwine, a loop forged in Python takes its dance. Leviathan, master of the journey, governs events with a steady handβan ultra-fast event loop that deploys its bastion in asyncio, powered by the artistry of Zig. Between promises and futures, its path is clear: to rule swiftly where code is prepared.
π Features
- Ultra-fast speed: Thanks to low-level optimizations enabled by Zig.
- Full asyncio compatibility: A drop-in replacement for the default event loop.
- Efficient design: Focused on maximizing performance and minimizing latency.
- Simplicity: Easy integration with existing Python projects.
- Robust Safety: Carefully engineered for critical systems with advanced error recovery and graceful degradation mechanisms.
π Requirements
- Python >= 3.13
- Zig >= 0.14.0 (for development or contributions)
- Linux >= 5.11
π§ Installation
To install Leviathan, just execute:
python setup.py install
π¦ Basic Usage
import leviathan
import asyncio
async def main():
print("Hello from Leviathan!")
await asyncio.sleep(1)
print("Goodbye from Leviathan!")
leviathan.run(main())
π§ͺ Benchmarks
Leviathan stands out for its speed and performance. Here is a preliminary chart illustrating its superiority over other event loops:
