_**Assistant**_

I'll help you implement the plan outlined in TODO.md. Let's start by checking the current project structure and then proceed step by step.

Let's start implementing the plan step by step. First, let's add `aiomultiprocess` as a dependency in `pyproject.toml`.

---

_****_

Read file: pyproject.toml

---

_****_



Let's update the `pyproject.toml` to add `aiomultiprocess` as an optional dependency.

---

_****_

```diff
      "numpy>=1.24.0",                      # Required by pandas
      "matplotlib>=3.7.0",                  # For benchmark visualization
-
  ]

  dev = ["pre-commit>=3.6.0"]

- all = ["twat>=1.0.0", "pathos>=0.3.0"]
+ aio = ["aiomultiprocess>=0.9.1"]         # Async multiprocessing support
+
+ all = [
+     "twat>=1.0.0",
+     "pathos>=0.3.0",
+     "aiomultiprocess>=0.9.1"             # Include aio in all
+ ]

  [tool.hatch.envs.test]
```

Now let's create the `AsyncMultiPool` class in a new file `src/twat_mp/async_mp.py`.

---

_****_





Let's update the README.md to document the new async functionality:

---

_****_

```diff
  * Full type hints and modern Python features
  * Flexible pool configuration with customizable worker count
+ * Process and thread pools with a simple, consistent API
+ * Decorators for easy parallelization of functions
+ * Support for map, imap, and other common parallel operations
+ * Async support via `aiomultiprocess` for combining async/await with multiprocessing
+ * Graceful error handling and resource cleanup

  ## Installation

+ Basic installation:
  ```bash
  pip install twat-mp
+ ```
+
+ With async support:
+ ```bash
+ pip install 'twat-mp[aio]'
  ```

  ## Usage
+
+ ### Basic Usage
+
+ ```python
+ from twat_mp import ProcessPool, pmap
+
+ # Using the pool directly
+ with ProcessPool() as pool:
+     results = pool.map(lambda x: x * 2, range(10))
+
+ # Using the decorator
+ @pmap
+ def double(x):
+     return x * 2
+
+ results = double(range(10))
+ ```
+
+ ### Async Support
+
+ The package provides async support through `aiomultiprocess`, allowing you to combine the benefits of async/await with multiprocessing:
+
+ ```python
+ import asyncio
+ from twat_mp import AsyncMultiPool, apmap
+
+ # Using the pool directly
+ async def process_items():
+     async with AsyncMultiPool() as pool:
+         async def work(x):
+             await asyncio.sleep(0.1)  # Some async work
+             return x * 2
+
+         results = await pool.map(work, range(10))
+         return results
+
+ # Using the decorator
+ @apmap
+ async def double(x):
+     await asyncio.sleep(0.1)  # Some async work
+     return x * 2
+
+ async def main():
+     results = await double(range(10))
+     print(results)
+
+ asyncio.run(main())
+ ```
+
+ The async support is particularly useful when you need to:
+ - Perform CPU-intensive tasks in parallel
+ - Handle many concurrent I/O operations
+ - Combine async/await with true multiprocessing

  ### Using Process and Thread Pools
```

---

_****_



Let's also update the CHANGELOG.md to document these changes:

---

_****_

```diff
  ### Changed
  - Updated license year to 2025
+
+ ## [Unreleased]
+
+ ### Added
+ - Added async support via `aiomultiprocess` integration
+ - New `AsyncMultiPool` class for combining async/await with multiprocessing
+ - New `apmap` decorator for easy async parallel processing
+ - Comprehensive test suite for async functionality
+ - Documentation for async features
+
+ ### Changed
+ - Updated project dependencies to include optional `aiomultiprocess` support
+ - Enhanced type hints and error handling across the codebase

  [1.7.5]: https://github.com/twardoch/twat-mp/compare/v1.7.3...v1.7.5
```

---

_****_



Now let's run the tests to make sure everything works as expected:

---

_****_

```bash
ruff check --output-format=github --fix --unsafe-fixes . && ruff format --respect-gitignore --target-version py312 . && python -m pytest
```

```
::error title=Ruff (B904),file=/Users/adam/Developer/vcs/github.tw

n an `except` clause, raise exceptions with `raise ... from err` or `raise ... f
rom None` to distinguish them from errors in exception handling
          %

```

---

_****_



Let's fix the linter error in `async_mp.py`:

---

_****_

```diff
  try:
      import aiomultiprocess
- except ImportError:
+ except ImportError as err:
      raise ImportError(
          "aiomultiprocess is not installed. Install it with: pip install twat-mp[aio]"
-     )
+     ) from err

  T = TypeVar("T")
```

---

Let's run the tests again:

It seems we have an issue with the version detection from VCS. Let's try to fix this by creating a VERSION.txt file:

---

_****_

```diff
- v1.8.1
+ 1.8.0

```

---

_****_





Now let's try installing the dependencies again:

---

_****_

```bash
pip install -e '.[aio,test]'
```

```

Let's modify the pyproject.toml to use a static version instead of VCS:

---

_****_

```diff

  readme = "README.md"

- version-file = "src/twat_mp/__version__.py"

  [tool.hatch.envs.default]

It seems we need to modify how we handle the optional dependency. Let's update the `async_mp.py` file to make it more robust:

Let's update the `__init__.py` to handle the optional dependency:

---

_****_

```diff
  from twat_mp.__version__ import version as __version__
  from twat_mp.mp import MultiPool, ProcessPool, ThreadPool, amap, imap, mmap, pmap

Now let's run the tests again:

---

Great! The tests are passing, with the async tests being skipped when `aiomultiprocess` is not installed. Let's summarize what we've done:

1. Added `aiomultiprocess` as an optional dependency in `pyproject.toml`
2. Created `AsyncMultiPool` class with async context manager support
3. Added `apmap` decorator for easy parallel processing
4. Updated documentation in README.md
5. Added changelog entries in LOG.md
6. Made the async functionality optional, with graceful fallback
7. Added comprehensive tests for the async functionality
8. Fixed version handling and import issues

The implementation follows the plan outlined in TODO.md and provides a robust, type-safe, and well-documented solution for combining async/await with multiprocessing.

Would you like me to make any additional improvements or changes to the implementation?

---

_**User**_

Update @CHANGELOG.md and @TODO.md and then update @README.md

---

_**Assistant**_

<think>I need to update the CHANGELOG.md, TODO.md, and README.md files to reflect the implementation of async multiprocessing support we've just completed.

For the CHANGELOG.md, I notice that:
1. It's actually named "LOG.md" in the file path, but the content seems to be a standard changelog
2. We already added the Unreleased section with the features we implemented
3. I should update this to mark the changes for the next version (1.8.0)

For TODO.md, I need to:
1. Update it to indicate that the task has been completed
2. Maybe add any future tasks or improvements

For README.md, I should:
1. Ensure the documentation about the async functionality is clear and complete
2. Add any additional examples if needed
3. Make sure all features are accurately described

Let me start with these updates.</think>Let me update the changelog, TODO, and README files to reflect the async multiprocessing implementation we've completed.

- Here's a detailed step-by-step plan for the `twat-mp` maintainer to incorporate support for `aiomultiprocess` in the `twat-mp` package, along with rationale, and specific code examples.
+ # ✅ Completed: `aiomultiprocess` Integration
+
+ This task has been successfully implemented in version 1.8.0. The implementation provides:
+
+ - `aiomultiprocess` integration through an optional dependency
+ - `AsyncMultiPool` context manager for async parallel processing
+ - `apmap` decorator for easy parallel mapping with async functions
+ - Graceful fallback when `aiomultiprocess` is not installed
+ - Comprehensive test suite and documentation
+
+ ## Original Implementation Plan
+
+ Here's the original detailed step-by-step plan for the `twat-mp` maintainer to incorporate support for `aiomultiprocess` in the `twat-mp` package, along with rationale, and specific code examples.

  **Rationale:**

  This comprehensive plan provides a step-by-step guide to integrating `aiomultiprocess` into `twat-mp`, including specific code examples and testing recommendations. It focuses on creating a clean, user-friendly API that complements the existing `pathos`-based functionality.
+
+ ## Future Enhancements
+
+ Potential future improvements could include:
+
+ 1. **Additional Async Decorators:** Add `aimap` (async iterator map) and other async variants similar to the existing decorators
+ 2. **Benchmark Suite:** Extend benchmark tests to compare performance between pathos and aiomultiprocess
+ 3. **Automatic Backend Selection:** Smart selection of the most appropriate backend based on workload characteristics
+ 4. **Expanded Documentation:** More comprehensive examples showing real-world use cases for async parallel processing

```
