Hello,
I have a simple (and not working) example of what I'm trying to do. This
is a simplified version of what I'm trying to achieve (obviously the
background workers and finalizer functions will do more later):
`app.py`
```
import asyncio
import threading
import time
from queue import Queue
from flask import Flask
in_queue = Queue()
out_queue = Queue()
def worker():
print("worker started running")
while True:
future = in_queue.get()
print(f"worker got future: {future}")
time.sleep(5)
print("worker sleeped")
out_queue.put(future)
def finalizer():
print("finalizer started running")
while True:
future = out_queue.get()
print(f"finalizer got future: {future}")
future.set_result("completed")
print("finalizer set result")
threading.Thread(target=worker, daemon=True).start()
threading.Thread(target=finalizer, daemon=True).start()
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route("/")
async def root():
future = asyncio.get_event_loop().create_future()
in_queue.put(future)
print(f"root put future: {future}")
result = await future
return result
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run()
```
If I start up that server, and execute `curl http://localhost:5000`, it
prints out the following in the server before hanging:
```
$ python3 app.py
worker started running
finalizer started running
* Serving Flask app 'app'
* Debug mode: off
WARNING: This is a development server. Do not use it in a production
deployment. Use a production WSGI server instead.
* Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000
Press CTRL+C to quit
root put future: <Future pending>
worker got future: <Future pending cb=[Task.task_wakeup()]>
worker sleeped
finalizer got future: <Future pending cb=[Task.task_wakeup()]>
finalizer set result
```
Judging by what's printing out, the `final result = await future`
doesn't seem to be happy here.
Maybe someone sees something obvious I'm doing wrong here? I presume I'm
mixing threads and asyncio in a way I shouldn't be.
Here's some system information (just freshly installed with pip3 install
flask[async] in a virtual environment for python version 3.11.2):
```
$ uname -a
Linux x1carbon 6.1.0-18-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.76-1
(2024-02-01) x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ python3 -V
Python 3.11.2
$ pip3 freeze
asgiref==3.7.2
blinker==1.7.0
click==8.1.7
Flask==3.0.2
itsdangerous==2.1.2
Jinja2==3.1.3
MarkupSafe==2.1.5
Werkzeug==3.0.1
```
Thanks for any help!
Cheers,
Thomas
