TypeError: Object Cannot Be Used in Await

Why This Happens

The await keyword only works with awaitable objects. If you await a regular function's return value, Python raises TypeError.

The Problem

def fetch():  # Not async!
    return 'data'

async def main():
    result = await fetch()

The Fix

async def fetch():  # async!
    return 'data'

async def main():
    result = await fetch()

Step-by-Step Fix

1. 1

   Check function definition

   Verify the function uses 'async def'.

2. 2

   Check return values

   Ensure the method returns an awaitable.

3. 3

   Use asyncio.to_thread()

   Wrap sync functions: await asyncio.to_thread(sync_func).
