| Importance | Review Guidance | Requires Scanning Tool |
|---|---|---|
| Low | Merge After Cursory Review | No |
The asyncio documentation explicitly discourages manual instantiation of a Task instance and instead recommends calling create_task. This keeps your code in line with recommended best practices and promotes maintainability.
Our changes look like the following:
import asyncio
- task = asyncio.Task(my_coroutine(), name="my task")
+ task = asyncio.create_task(my_coroutine(), name="my task")
