Hi

Don't understand how it works for you in the demo but when i run it crases straight away. I have tried multiple times and when i try to start 04-asyncio/web_scraping/async_scrape/program.py i get the following error.

python program.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "program.py", line 58, in
main()

loop.run_until_complete(get_title_range())

return future.result()
File "program.py", line 49, in get_title_range
tasks.append((n, asyncio.create_task(get_html(n))))
AttributeError: module 'asyncio' has no attribute 'create_task'

What version of Python are you using?

You can call create_task on the loop object rather than on the asyncio module as well. Give that a try.

I just tried this on 3.6 and got the same error as you. But works fine under 3.7. So I updated the code to work on 3.6 too.
