async def foo():
return 123
print(await foo()) # will print 123
print(await foo()) # prints None
print(await foo()) # prints None
The above code illustrates the current behaviour. I propose to change it, so that second 'await' will trigger a RuntimeError, explaining the the coroutine was awaited more than once.
This would make coroutines more predictable, and would allow users to catch subtle bugs in their code.
