“async with” in Python 3.4

Question

The Getting Started docs for asyncssh give the following hello example:

import asyncio, asyncssh, sys

async def run_client():
    async with asyncssh.connect('localhost') as conn:
        result = await conn.run('echo "Hello!"', check=True)
        print(result.stdout, end='')

try:
    asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(run_client())
except (OSError, asyncssh.Error) as exc:
    sys.exit('SSH connection failed: ' + str(exc))

However, this will not run, because async with is not supported in Python 3.4:

async with asyncssh.connect('localhost', username='squirtle', password='xxxxxxxxxxxx') as conn:
     ^

please ask another question with your edit, so we can keep the questions clean — Netwave, Dec 27 '17 at 08:40

I went and did it, this works for me.

@asyncio.coroutine
def run_client():
        with(yield from asyncssh.connect('localhost', username='root', password='xxxxxxxx')) as conn:
                result = yield from conn.run('ls', check=True)
                print(result.stdout, end='')

async keyword was introduced in Python 3.5, you should use asyncio.corutine in earlier versions.

Check PEP492 and Python 3.5 release notes
