Can I Use Asyncio.wait_for() As A Context Manager?

Why wouldn't this work: try: async with asyncio.wait_for(aiohttp.get(url), 2) as resp: print(resp.text()) except asyncio.TimeoutError as e: pass Gives async with a

Solution 1:

You cannot write async with wait_for(...) -- wait_for doesn't support asynchronous context manager.

I'll add Timeout class to asyncio soon -- see https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/python-tulip/aRc3VBIXyRc conversation.

For now you can try aiohttp.Timeout (it requires installing a fat enough package though) -- or just copy these 40 lines of code.

Interesting thing: the approach doesn't require async with -- just old good with is enough.

UPD I missed that you use aiohttp already. Thus just follow the second example from aiohttp timeouts chapter.
