Await Outside Async In Async/await

Was using the multiprocessing process before async, to test which is faster I am trying to run the code with async, but it gives me an error saying: 'await' outside async. My code:

Solution 1:

sum_ is a separate function, as far as Python is concerned. If you want to await inside a function, it needs to be async. And if you want to call an async function, you need to await it.

async def sum(name, numbers):

    async def sum_(numbers): # <-- This function needs to be async
        total = 0
        print(f'Task {name}: Computing {total}+{number}')
        await sleep()
        total += number
        print(f'Task {name}: Sum = {total}\n')

    for number in numbers:
        await sum_(numbers) # <-- And we need to await it here
