I'm learning about asycio and trying to run this script I get this error:
ValueError: a coroutine was expected, got <async_generator object mygen at 0x7fa2af959a60>
What am I missing here?
import asyncio
async def mygen(u=10):
"""Yield powers of 2."""
i = 0
while i < int(u):
yield 2 ** i
i += 1
await asyncio.sleep(0.1)
asyncio.run(mygen(5))
The asyncio.run function expects a coroutine but mygen is an asynchronous generator.
You can try something like this:
test.py:
import asyncio
async def mygen(u=10):
"""Yield powers of 2."""
i = 0
while i < int(u):
yield 2**i
i += 1
await asyncio.sleep(0.1)
async def main():
async for i in mygen(5):
print(i)
if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(main())
Test:
$ python test.py
1
2
4
8
16
References:
yield. You need to iterate over the generator withasync for.asyncio.runwon’t do that for you.
