# aioitertools: itertools and more for AsyncIO

Implementation of itertools, builtins, and more for AsyncIO and mixed-type iterables.

## Install

aioitertools requires Python 3.8 or newer. You can install it from PyPI:

    $ pip install aioitertools

## Usage

aioitertools shadows the standard library whenever possible to provide asynchronous version of the modules and functions you already know. It’s fully compatible with standard iterators and async iterators alike, giving you one unified, familiar interface for interacting with iterable objects:

    from aioitertools import iter, next, map, zip

    something = iter(...)
    first_item = await next(something)

    async for item in iter(something):
        ...

    async def fetch(url):
        response = await aiohttp.request(...)
        return response.json

    async for value in map(fetch, MANY_URLS):
        ...

    async for a, b in zip(something, something_else):
        ...

aioitertools emulates the entire `itertools` module, offering the same function signatures, but as async generators. All functions support standard iterables and async iterables alike, and can take functions or coroutines:

    from aioitertools import chain, islice

    async def generator1(...):
        yield ...

    async def generator2(...):
        yield ...

    async for value in chain(generator1(), generator2()):
        ...

    async for value in islice(generator1(), 2, None, 2):
        ...

See builtins.py, itertools.py, and more_itertools.py for full documentation of functions and abilities.
