我们如何调用正常的函数来预期协程？

Question

Consider a coroutine which calls into another coroutine:

async def foo(bar):
     result = await bar()
     return result

This works fine if bar is a coroutine. What do I need to do (ie with what do I need to wrap the call to bar ) so that this code does the right thing if bar is a normal function?

It is perfectly possible to define a coroutine with async def even if it never does anything asynchronous (ie never uses await ). However, the question asks how to wrap/modify/call a regular function bar inside the code for foo such that bar can be awaited.

Answer 1

Simply wrap your synchronous function with asyncio.coroutine if needed:

if not asyncio.iscoroutinefunction(bar):
    bar = asyncio.coroutine(bar)

Since it is safe to re-wrap a coroutine, the coroutine function test is actually not required:

async_bar = asyncio.coroutine(sync_or_async_bar)

Therefore, your code can be re-written as follows:

async def foo(bar):
     return await asyncio.coroutine(bar)()
