python-aiohttpHow to make an aiohttp request in Python?

Making an aiohttp request in Python is easy and straightforward. The following example code block shows how to make a GET request to a URL:

import aiohttp

async def fetch(session, url):
    async with session.get(url) as response:
        return await response.text()

async def main():
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        html = await fetch(session, 'http://python.org')
        print(html)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    loop.run_until_complete(main())

The output of the example code is the HTML content of the URL http://python.org:

<!doctype html>
<!--[if lt IE 7]>   <html class="no-js ie6 lt-ie7 lt-ie8 lt-ie9">   <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 7]>      <html class="no-js ie7 lt-ie8 lt-ie9">          <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 8]>      <html class="no-js ie8 lt-ie9">                 <![endif]-->
<!--[if gt IE 8]><!--><html class="no-js" lang="en" dir="ltr">  <!--<![endif]-->

<head>
    ...

The code consists of the following parts:

import aiohttp: imports the aiohttp library.
async def fetch(session, url): defines an asynchronous function that takes a session and a URL as parameters and returns the response text.
async def main(): defines an asynchronous function that creates a session and calls the fetch function.
if __name__ == '__main__': checks if the script is being run directly and creates an event loop.
loop.run_until_complete(main()): runs the main function until it is complete.
