https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/asyncio-task.html#running-tasks-concurrently

For asyncio.gather, the docs should probably say

The loop argument is deprecated and scheduled for removal in Python 3.10.

as they do for all the other loop arguments of other functions.

Hi,

Reading the asyncio.gather code not seem to be deprecrated.
loop is used on a lot of line of code. 

Maybe, the deprecate idea is on other place where I don't know.
msg338984 - (view) Author: (dtrauma) Date: 2019-03-27 20:41
Just to be clear, I don't know if loop is deprecated on this function like on all the others, I just suspect it to be. But it currently is completely undocumented, which either way is a bug. :)
msg338985 - (view) Author: Emmanuel Arias (eamanu) * Date: 2019-03-27 20:52
@dtrauma jus for clarify. You say that if loop is not deprecated document it else document it.


Right?
msg338986 - (view) Author: (dtrauma) Date: 2019-03-27 20:54
Yes, exactly, document deprecation status XOR what it does :)
msg343809 - (view) Author: Andrew Svetlov (asvetlov) * (Python committer) Date: 2019-05-28 17:50
*Passing* loop to gather should be deprecated.

*Using* loop by *internal logic* is pretty fine, we do it in asyncio everywhere.

Yuri, I think we should deprecate explicit loop everywhere in non-deprecated asyncio API by Python 3.8.

We can do it even in Python beta I think.

Thank you.

The change is pretty straightforward.

There is no need to jumbo PR, you can split the work into PR-per-module if it is more comfortable to you.

I'm ok with reviewing any approach.

Yes, I think that is better split I will try it.

async_case passes loop parameter to the queue used to collect tests and this causes below DeprecationWarning with last change over deprecation in queues and locks API.

msg351677 - (view) Author: Karthikeyan Singaravelan (xtreak) * (Python committer) Date: 2019-09-10 14:33
Is it okay to have _asyncio_internal keyword with default value as False and the places where it's used internally in stdlib like AsyncMock (Condition), async_case (Queue) and other tests we can pass in True? I have a patch if that would be a good approach :)
msg351679 - (view) Author: Andrew Svetlov (asvetlov) * (Python committer) Date: 2019-09-10 14:41
Better to avoid _asyncio_internal if not strictly necessary.
Currently, _asyncio_internal is used for protection of asyncio class direct instantiation.

E.g. stream = asyncio.Stream() is forbidden, people should use factories like stream = await asyncio.connect(...) for it.
msg351684 - (view) Author: Karthikeyan Singaravelan (xtreak) * (Python committer) Date: 2019-09-10 14:46
Ah okay. There were places like Condition's constructor that has a deprecation warning and we construct a Lock with loop passed in the constructor and I passed along _asyncio_internal. I would be happy to look into your PR since mine is just passing along _asyncio_internal=True for all the stdlib calls.

I think it would be good if tests ran with warnings (at least DeprecationWarning and some class of warnings) as error but not sure why :(

(copying my GitHub message on this topic from https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/15889#issuecomment-530030002)


I thought we were going to be more subtle about this.

We have two scenarios:

1. Somebody creates an instance of asyncio.Lock outside of a coroutine, also manually creating the loop, etc. In this case the user has to pass the lock argument.

2. Somebody creates an instance of asyncio.Lock in a coroutine (that is, wheh asyncio.get_running_loop() returns a loop). In this case passing the loop argument is an error.

The (1) approach is how people were used to writing asyncio programs before asyncio.run() (that was the only way actually).

The (2) approach is how we want people to write asyncio programs.

There's a subtle difference between things like asyncio.gather() and asyncio.Lock. Passing loop to the former is just nonsensical. Passing loop to the latter can be a valid thing, it's the (1).

If we remove the loop parameter entirely from classes like asyncio.Lock we're making (1) impossible. I'm not sure that is what we are ready to do now.

@asvetlov thoughts?
