Using Coroutines
We've used the await keyword a few times in this course. Now it's time to understand what's happening under the hood.
await pauses the current coroutine until the awaited coroutine (or other awaitable) finishes and returns a value. It lets Python switch to other work instead of blocking.
When to Use await
You can only use the await keyword:
- Inside an
async deffunction. - At top‑level in Pyodide (the browser's event loop is already running).
Assignment
Similar to before, the update_task_status function takes a task id, current status and completed state and returns a coroutine.
On line 5, call update_task_status with inputs:
Then await the returned coroutine and save the returned value in a variable called message which will be logged to the console (which is already written on line 9).
