# asyncio
## Module: {mod}`zmq.asyncio`
```{eval-rst}
.. automodule:: zmq.asyncio
```
```{currentmodule} zmq.asyncio
```
```{versionadded} 15.0
```
As of 15.0, pyzmq now supports {mod}`asyncio`, via {mod}`zmq.asyncio`.
When imported from this module, blocking methods such as
{meth}`Socket.recv_multipart`, {meth}`Socket.poll`,
and {meth}`Poller.poll` return {class}`~.asyncio.Future` s.
```python
import asyncio
import zmq
import zmq.asyncio
ctx = zmq.asyncio.Context()
async def recv_and_process():
sock = ctx.socket(zmq.PULL)
sock.bind(url)
msg = await sock.recv_multipart() # waits for msg to be ready
reply = await async_process(msg)
await sock.send_multipart(reply)
asyncio.run(recv_and_process())
```
## Classes
### {class}`Context`
Context class that creates Future-returning sockets. See {class}`zmq.Context` for more info.
```{eval-rst}
.. autoclass:: Context
```
### {class}`Socket`
Socket subclass that returns {class}`asyncio.Future` s from blocking methods,
for use in coroutines and async applications.
```{seealso}
{class}`zmq.Socket` for the inherited API.
```
```{eval-rst}
.. autoclass:: Socket
.. automethod:: recv
.. automethod:: recv_multipart
.. automethod:: send
.. automethod:: send_multipart
.. automethod:: poll
```
### {class}`Poller`
Poller subclass that returns {class}`asyncio.Future` s from poll,
for use in coroutines and async applications.
```{seealso}
{class}`zmq.Poller` for the inherited API.
```
```{eval-rst}
.. autoclass:: Poller
.. automethod:: poll
```
