Both you and Paul are correct on this, thank you. The proper resolution of await -coro() is indeed to get the result of coro(), call it's __neg__ method, and then await on that. And that is perfectly reasonable, and should not be a SyntaxError; what it might be is an AttributeError (no __neg__ method) or an AsyncError (__neg__ returned non-awaitable object), or might even just work [1]... but it definitely should /not/ be a SyntaxError. -- ~Ethan~ [1] http://stackoverflow.com/q/7719018/208880 _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
