Missing Await in Python

PythonConcurrencyAsyncIOintermediate

What this snippet does

Forgetting to await a coroutine creates a runtime warning and the task never actually executes.

Expected output

Done
RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'sleep' was never awaited

Why practise typing this

Typing concurrency code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation Python uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
