Question

Hey all trying to read a file with the `RemoteFileSystem` ```rfs = RemoteFileSystem basepath= <s3 bucket name some path on bucket> cfg = rfs read path base config yaml ``` I end up with `cfg` being a `coroutine` I imagine this returns bytes but there aren t any helper methods and it s not clear how I m supposed to proceed I am interested in reading this file into memory

Nathaniel Russell · Answer

That function is asyncronous so something like this is required ```cfg = asyncio run rfs read path base config yaml ```

I think these should have a `sync compatible` annotation since 2 4 2

which will automatically run it in an event loop for you

Thank you Nathaniel This ends up working best I think your suggestion throws a warning about how `RemoteFileSystem read path` was never awaited Never really done async await especially in python though I know go concurrency ```cfg = rfs read path base config yaml my yaml = await cfg ```
