🔒 Async logic

[sick linden]

Im doing async API calls and want to better store the tasks, currently im doing:

 tasks = [api_call(url) for url in api_list]
results = await asyncio.gather(*tasks)

Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

What's wrong with doing this?

[sick linden]

i was wondering if theres a better way to fill for example a dict of dicts

maybe use a global dict and update it inside the fetch? and then leave results away?

[manic ermine]

That'd work, sure.

(Doesn't even need to be global, just nonlocal to this function)

[sick linden]

Im just thinking bout best practice cause my API call returns a json which i convert to dict then and want to store the argument as key

[rose tangle]

You might prefer using a TaskGroup

[sick linden]

can you elaborate?

[rose tangle]

Instead of gather

It has better cancellation semantics

[sick linden]

is that compatible with semaphore?

[rose tangle]

Yes

[sick linden]

thanks!
