Running several ApplicationSessions non-blockingly using autbahn.asyncio.wamp

Question

I'm trying to run two autobahn.asyncio.wamp.ApplicationSessions in python at the same time. Previously, I did this using a modification of the autobahn library as suggested in this post's answer. I now require a bit more professional solution.

After googling about for a while, this post appeared quite promising, but uses the twisted library, instead of asyncio. I wasn't able to identify a similar solution for the asyncio branch of the autobahn library, since it doesn't appear to be using Reactors.

The main problem I have, is that ApplicationRunner.run() is blocking (which is why I previously outsourced it to a thread), so I can't just run a second ApplicationRunner after it.

I do need to access 2 websocket channels at the same time, which I cannot appear to do with a single ApplicationSession.

My Code so far:

from autobahn.asyncio.wamp import ApplicationSession
from autobahn.asyncio.wamp import ApplicationRunner
from asyncio import coroutine
import time


channel1 = 'BTC_LTC'
channel2 = 'BTC_XMR'

class LTCComponent(ApplicationSession):

    def onConnect(self):
        self.join(self.config.realm)

    @coroutine
    def onJoin(self, details):
        def onTicker(*args, **kwargs):
            print('LTCComponent', args, kwargs)

        try:
            yield from self.subscribe(onTicker, channel1)
        except Exception as e:
            print("Could not subscribe to topic:", e)

class XMRComponent(ApplicationSession):

    def onConnect(self):
        self.join(self.config.realm)

    @coroutine
    def onJoin(self, details):
        def onTicker(*args, **kwargs):
            print('XMRComponent', args, kwargs)

        try:
            yield from self.subscribe(onTicker, channel2)
        except Exception as e:
            print("Could not subscribe to topic:", e)

def main():
    runner = ApplicationRunner("wss://api.poloniex.com:443", "realm1", extra={})
    runner.run(LTCComponent)
    runner.run(XMRComponent) # <- is not being called


if __name__ == "__main__":

    try:
        main()
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        quit()

    except Exception as e:
        print(time.time(), e)

My knowledge of the autobahn library is limited, and I'm afraid the documentation isn't improving my situation much. Am I overlooking something here? A function, a parameter, which would enable me to either compound my components or run them both at once?

Perhaps a similar solution as provided here, which implements an alternative ApplicationRunner ?

Following the approach you linked for twisted I managed to get same behaviour with asyncio setting start_loop=False

import asyncio
from autobahn.asyncio.wamp import ApplicationSession, ApplicationRunner

runner1 = ApplicationRunner(url, realm, extra={'cli_id': 1})
coro1 = runner1.run(MyApplicationSession, start_loop=False)

runner2 = ApplicationRunner(url, realm, extra={'cli_id': 2})
coro2 = runner2.run(MyApplicationSession, start_loop=False)

asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(coro1)
asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(coro2)
asyncio.get_event_loop().run_forever()

class MyApplicationSession(ApplicationSession):

    def __init__(self, cfg):
        super().__init__(cfg)
        self.cli_id = cfg.extra['cli_id']

   def onJoin(self, details):
        print("session attached", self.cli_id)
