Currently, passing a generator of coroutines or futures as the first parameter of asyncio.wait raises a TypeError. This is in conflict with the documentation calling the first parameter a "sequence".

Line in question. https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3.7/Lib/asyncio/tasks.py#L347

Generators are indeed coroutines, so the check to validate that the first parameter is not a coroutine or a future is too specific.

I'd suggest replacing that line with a check that the passed-in parameter is iterable, i.e. hasattr(futures, __iter__).

Since we're deprecating generator-based coroutines anyways, I too think that the check can be relaxed.

Since generator based coroutines are gone, I think we should relax this check and allow generators.

Allowing generators in 3.12 seems like a good idea. It's probably also useful to change the documentation in 3.10 and 3.11 to clarify that generators don't work, as #99936 asked for.

Let's do it.

So there are two separate tasks here, right:

  1. In 3.12, allow generators
  2. In the docs for 3.10 and 3.11, explain that generators are not allowed (maybe allude to 3.12 allowing them)

According to GH, the PR will close this issue. But it should remain open until the 3.10/3.11 docs are also updated.
