inconsistent file descriptor blocking state when running in asyncio vs uvloop

When running under uvloop, registering stdin, stdout, or stderr with loop.add_reader() / loop.add_writer() implicitly changes their blocking mode from blocking to non-blocking. This behaviour does not occur under the standard asyncio selector event loop.

This is causing some issues when running with rich/promptkit in fast-agent

Under the following test code

import anyio
import sys
import os
import asyncio

async def main():

    loop = asyncio.get_running_loop()
    print(f"Using event loop: {type(loop)}")

    stdin = sys.stdin.fileno()
    stdout = sys.stdout.fileno()
    stderr = sys.stderr.fileno()

    print(f"initial:\tstdin fd: {stdin}, stdout fd: {stdout}, stderr fd: {stderr}")
    print(f"blocking:\tstdin fd: {os.get_blocking(stdin)}, stdout fd: {os.get_blocking(stdout)}, stderr fd: {os.get_blocking(stderr)}")

    loop.add_writer(stdin, lambda: None)
    loop.add_writer(stdout, lambda: None)
    loop.add_writer(stderr, lambda: None)

    print(f"writer: \tstdin fd: {stdin}, stdout fd: {stdout}, stderr fd: {stderr}")
    print(f"blocking:\tstdin fd: {os.get_blocking(stdin)}, stdout fd: {os.get_blocking(stdout)}, stderr fd: {os.get_blocking(stderr)}")

    loop.add_reader(stdin, lambda: None)
    loop.add_reader(stdout, lambda: None)
    loop.add_reader(stderr, lambda: None)

    print(f"reader: \tstdin fd: {stdin}, stdout fd: {stdout}, stderr fd: {stderr}")
    print(f"blocking:\tstdin fd: {os.get_blocking(stdin)}, stdout fd: {os.get_blocking(stdout)}, stderr fd: {os.get_blocking(stderr)}")

anyio.run(main, backend="asyncio", backend_options={"use_uvloop": False})
print("-" * 40)
anyio.run(main, backend="asyncio", backend_options={"use_uvloop": True})

I see the following output, where the blocking status of the stdio file descriptors are changed from blocking to non blocking when running under uvloop but not asyncio.

Using event loop: <class 'asyncio.unix_events._UnixSelectorEventLoop'>

Commencez par exécuter la reproduction fournie de asyncio par rapport à uvloop et examinez les points d’entrée de uvloop pour loop.add_reader() et loop.add_writer(). Comparez leur gestion des descripteurs de fichier avec celle de la boucle sélecteur standard d’asyncio ; c’est terminé lorsque l’enregistrement de stdin, stdout et stderr préserve leur état bloquant sous uvloop.
