RuntimeWarning：启用 tracemalloc 以使用 asyncio.sleep 获取对象分配回溯

Question

Trying to use a semaphore to control asynchronous requests to control the requests to my target host but I am getting the following error which I have assume means that my asycio.sleep() is not actually sleeping. How can I fix this? I want to add a delay to my requests for each URL targeted.

Error:

RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'sleep' was never awaited

Code:

import sys
import time
import asyncio
import aiohttp

async def get_html(semaphore, session, url, delay=6):
    await semaphore.acquire()
    async with session.get(url) as res:
        html = await res.text()
        asyncio.sleep(delay)
        semaphore.release()
        return html

async def main():
    categories = {
        "makeup": "https://www.sephora.com/shop/"
    }
    semaphore = asyncio.Semaphore(value=1)
    tasks = []
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession(loop=loop, connector=aiohttp.TCPConnector(ssl=False)) as session:
        for category, url in categories.items():
                # Get HTML of all pages
            tasks.append(get_html(semaphore, session, url))
        res = await asyncio.gather(*tasks)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    loop.run_until_complete(main())

asyncio.sleep(delay)

Change it to:

await asyncio.sleep(delay)

asyncio.sleep is a coroutine and should be awaited.
