What is the best way to write to a python file when working asynchronously?

Question

Python

Good afternoon. It is necessary to write the data to a file (text .csv). There is an option to do it through asynchronous aiofiles, but I came across an article in which it is advised to simply write to a file

with open(file, "w") as out:  # regular file I/O
    async for s in network_request():  # asyncio for slow network work. measure it!
        out.write(s) # should be really quick, measure it!

This approach is really better at the moment, is everything up to date?

Answer 1

Bad advice. You can do without aiofiles, but use loop.run_in_executor().

Answer 2

A lot of factors influence.
If you need to write a few kilobytes to a hard disk, then you can do so.
And if then it suddenly turns out that you need to write several tens of megabytes to a remote storage, then problems may arise.
So it depends on the problem at hand.
