Async DNS query function can only be called once per session

Question

Probably this is a dumb question, I know this must be pretty trivial, and probably has been asked many times, but I don't know the answer and none of the answers I have found through Google solves the problem.

The problem is really simple, I used the example code from https://pypi.org/project/async-dns/ :

import asyncio
from async_dns.core import types, Address
from async_dns.resolver import DNSClient

async def query():
    client = DNSClient()
    res = await client.query('www.google.com', types.A,
                             Address.parse('8.8.8.8'))
    print(res)
    print(res.aa)

asyncio.run(query())

And it can only be called once without raising all kinds of exceptions, one of them being: RuntimeError: Event loop is closed

I have tried suggestions from "Asyncio Event Loop is Closed" when getting loop but no luck so far:

How can it be solved?

Answer 1

In cases like this, it's ususally a good idea to go to the project's GitHub and search for the error message in issues:

https://github.com/gera2ld/async_dns/issues?q=is%3Aissue+Event+loop+is+closed

It gives us one result and the solution is in the last comment:

https://github.com/gera2ld/async_dns/issues/26#issuecomment-844850252

The final code:

import asyncio
from async_dns.core import types, Address
from async_dns.resolver import DNSClient
from async_dns.request import clean


async def query():
    client = DNSClient()
    res = await client.query("www.google.com", types.A, Address.parse("8.8.8.8"))
    print(res)
    print(res.aa)
    clean()


asyncio.run(query())
