AnyIO is an asynchronous networking and concurrency library that works on top of eitherasyncio ortrio. It implements trio-likestructured concurrency (SC) on top of asyncio and works in harmonywith the native SC of trio itself.
Applications and libraries written against AnyIO's API will run unmodified on eitherasyncio ortrio. AnyIO can also be adopted into a library or application incrementally – bit by bit, no fullrefactoring necessary. It will blend in with the native libraries of your chosen backend.

AnyIO offers the following functionality:
- Task groups (nurseries in trio terminology)
- High-level networking (TCP, UDP and UNIX sockets)
- Happy eyeballs algorithm for TCP connections (more robust than that of asyncio on Python3.8)
- async/await style UDP sockets (unlike asyncio where you still have to use Transports andProtocols)
- A versatile API for byte streams and object streams
- Inter-task synchronization and communication (locks, conditions, events, semaphores, objectstreams)
- Worker threads
- Subprocesses
- Asynchronous file I/O (using worker threads)
- Signal handling
AnyIO also comes with its ownpytest plugin which also supports asynchronous fixtures.It even works with the popularHypothesis library.
