An extension for IPython that help to run AsyncIO code in your interactive session.

Based on Gist.

Install asyncio-ipython-magic using pip:

$ pip install asyncio-ipython-magic

...or directly from the repository using the %install_ext magic command:

$ In[1]: %install_ext https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Gr1N/asyncio-ipython-magic/master/asynciomagic.py

Enjoy!

In [1]: %load_ext asynciomagic

In [2]: import asyncio

In [3]: import time

In [4]: async def foo():
   ...:     i = 0
   ...:     while i < 3:
   ...:         print('time =', time.time())
   ...:         i += 1
   ...:         await asyncio.sleep(2)
   ...:

In [5]: %%async_
   ...: await foo()
   ...:
time = 1478985421.307329
time = 1478985423.309606
time = 1478985425.31514

In [6]: %await_ foo()
time = 1487097377.700184
time = 1487097379.705614
time = 1487097381.707186

It just works, I hope.
