Use gmqtt without uvlo

[simonegiacomelli]

I just installed gmqtt but uvloop does not support Windows at the moment.

Can I use gmqtt without uvloop?

In the example, there is this comment: 'gmqtt also compatibility with uvloop'
What does it mean? Is it a dependency or a choice?

best regards

Hi, @simonegiacomelli
It's just our choice. In our examples, just remove line where we set event loop policy: https://github.com/wialon/gmqtt/blob/master/examples/properties.py#L10 And everything should work.

Dear @Lenka42 it actually gives an exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/Simone/Documents/beamng/precrime-tig/experiments/library-pieces/mqtt/gmqtt_example.py", line 57, in
loop.add_signal_handler(signal.SIGINT, ask_exit)
File "C:\Users\Simone\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\lib\asyncio\events.py", line 499, in add_signal_handler
raise NotImplementedError
NotImplementedError

Oh, I see. Never tried to run it on Windows actually
remove all add_signal_handler lines
And wrap loop.run_until_complete with try-except block:

try:
    loop.run_until_complete(main(host, port, token))
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    print("Received exit, exiting")

Let me know if it helps 😄

yes, it works! :)

Thank you very much, sir.

It could be beneficial for new users to have a ms windows example (with the changes discussed here).
