Async usage error with Requests

Async usage error

$ python -c "import asyncio, requests; async def main(): requests.get('https://example.com'); asyncio.run(main())"
# Event loop blocked; timeouts/unresponsiveness

Why this happens

Requests is sync; running it in the event loop blocks other tasks.

Fix

• Use httpx/aiohttp for async or run Requests in a thread executor.

Wrong code

import asyncio, requests
async def main():
    requests.get("https://example.com")
asyncio.run(main())

Fixed code

import asyncio, requests
async def main():
    loop = asyncio.get_running_loop()
    resp = await loop.run_in_executor(None, requests.get, "https://example.com")
    print(resp.status_code)
asyncio.run(main())
