High-level UDP endpoints for asyncio

aioudp.py

"""Provide high-level UDP endpoints for asyncio.

Example:

async def main():

    # Create a local UDP enpoint
    local = await open_local_endpoint('localhost', 8888)

    # Create a remote UDP enpoint, pointing to the first one
    remote = await open_remote_endpoint(*local.address)

    remote.send(b'Hey Hey, My My')

    # This prints: Got 'Hey Hey, My My' from 127.0.0.1 port 8888

@PanzrZJ The following example works fine for me:

import asyncio
from aioudp import open_local_endpoint


async def main(port=8514):
    endpoint = await open_local_endpoint(port=port)
    print(f"The UDP server is running on port {endpoint.address[1]}...")
    while True:
        data, (host, port) = await endpoint.receive()
        print(f"Received {len(data)} bytes from {host}:{port}")
        print(">", data)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

You can test this script using nc:

$ echo test | nc -u -w0 localhost 8514

The server should print the following messages:

$ python test_aioudp.py
The UDP server is running on port 8514...
Received 5 bytes from 127.0.0.1:39518
> b'test\n'

anyio also has a UDP streaming interface that works in asyncio: https://anyio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/networking.html#working-with-udp-sockets

@PanzrZJ The following example works fine for me:

import asyncio
from aioudp import open_local_endpoint


async def main(port=8514):
    endpoint = await open_local_endpoint(port=port)
    print(f"The UDP server is running on port {endpoint.address[1]}...")
    while True:
        data, (host, port) = await endpoint.receive()
        print(f"Received {len(data)} bytes from {host}:{port}")
        print(">", data)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

$ echo test | nc -u -w0 localhost 8514

$ python test_aioudp.py

Received 5 bytes from 127.0.0.1:39518
> b'test\n'

Yes, it works.
Thank you very much!
