asyncio TaskGroup for concurrent async operations

المسألة

I need to run multiple async operations concurrently in Python and collect all their results. Some operations may fail and I want to handle errors per-task. I'm using Python 3.11+ and want to use the modern approach.

الحل

Use asyncio.TaskGroup (Python 3.11+) for structured concurrency:

import asyncio
from typing import Any

async def fetch_trace_details(trace_id: str) -> dict:
    """Concurrently fetch trace data, tags, and vote counts."""
    async with asyncio.TaskGroup() as tg:
        trace_task = tg.create_task(get_trace(trace_id))
        tags_task = tg.create_task(get_tags(trace_id))
        votes_task = tg.create_task(get_vote_count(trace_id))
    # All tasks done here — any exception propagates as ExceptionGroup
    return {
        'trace': trace_task.result(),
        'tags': tags_task.result(),
        'votes': votes_task.result(),
    }

# For Python 3.10 and earlier, use asyncio.gather:
results = await asyncio.gather(
    get_trace(trace_id),
    get_tags(trace_id),
    get_vote_count(trace_id),
    return_exceptions=True,
)

# Handle per-task errors with gather:
for result in results:
    if isinstance(result, Exception):
        log.error('Task failed', exc_info=result)
    else:
        process(result)

Key points: - TaskGroup cancels all tasks if any raises — use gather(return_exceptions=True) for independent failures - ExceptionGroup (Python 3.11+) wraps multiple failures — catch with except* - Use asyncio.timeout() inside tasks to prevent indefinite hangs - TaskGroup is preferred over gather when all tasks must succeed together
