How do I serialize tuples in Python in an async application?

In Python, you can serialize tuples using various methods such as `json`, `pickle`, or `marshal`. In an async application, it's important to choose a serialization method that does not block the event loop. This is particularly true when working with asynchronous frameworks like FastAPI or asyncio.

Here's an example of how to serialize and deserialize a tuple using the `json` module, which is non-blocking and suitable for async applications.

import json import asyncio async def serialize_tuple(t): # Convert tuple to list for JSON serialization json_str = json.dumps(list(t)) return json_str async def deserialize_tuple(json_str): # Convert JSON back to tuple item_list = json.loads(json_str) return tuple(item_list) async def main(): original_tuple = (1, 2, 3) serialized = await serialize_tuple(original_tuple) print("Serialized:", serialized) deserialized = await deserialize_tuple(serialized) print("Deserialized:", deserialized) asyncio.run(main())
