@Marvin, how can I use asyncio.create_task with a task.submit() to use asyncio.wait function?

To use

asyncio.create_task

with

task.submit()

and

asyncio.wait

, you'll need to handle Prefect's asynchronous task execution and Python's asyncio capabilities. Here’s a concise guide on how to achieve that: 1. Submit the Task: Use

task.submit()

to submit your task. This returns a future object that you can work with asynchronously. The

submit

function can take parameters and dependencies. 2. Create an Async Task: Use

asyncio.create_task()

to create a task from the future's coroutine. This is necessary to integrate with the asyncio event loop. 3. Use asyncio.wait: Finally, you can use

asyncio.wait()

to wait for the completion of the asyncio tasks you've created. Here's a simple example:

python
import asyncio
from prefect import task, flow

@task
async def my_task(x):
    return x * 2

@flow
async def my_flow():
    # Submit the task
    future = my_task.submit(10)

    # Create an asyncio task
    async_task = asyncio.create_task(future.result())

    # Wait for the task to complete
    done, pending = await asyncio.wait([async_task])

    for task in done:
        print(task.result())

asyncio.run(my_flow())

### Key Points: - Prefect Future:

task.submit()

returns a future object that can be awaited. - Asyncio Integration: Use

asyncio.create_task

to manage the future within an asyncio context. - Waiting:

asyncio.wait

allows you to wait for multiple asyncio tasks. For more details, you can refer to the Prefect Task Runners documentation.
