asyncio.wait_for()
asyncio.wait_for() is a Python function in the Asyncio Module category. Waits for a coroutine to complete with a timeout. Raises TimeoutError if exceeded. The syntax is asyncio.wait_for(coro, timeout). Parameters: coro, timeout. Returns: Coroutine result. A typical example: try:
result = await asyncio.wait_for(fetch(), timeout=5.0)
except asyncio.TimeoutError:
print("Request timed out"). A close sibling is asyncio.run(), which executes a coroutine and blocks until complete. The main entry point for asyncio programs. A close sibling is asyncio.sleep(), which pauses execution of the current coroutine for the given seconds. A close sibling is asyncio.gather(), which runs multiple coroutines concurrently and returns their results. A close sibling is asyncio.create_task(), which schedules a coroutine to run as a Task, returning a Task object.
