How to call asyncio.create_task() within asyncio.create_task()?

I have been attempting to run 10 different looping tasks simultaneously with asyncio. All 10 tasks call "asyncio.create_task()" within their loops. I can't use "asyncio.run()" on all of them because this functions blocks the thread its called on until the task is done. So I thought that I could simply circumvent this by calling a function with "asyncio.run()" and then inside that function call my 10 looping functions through "asyncio.create_task()". The 10 looping functions are indeed called, but they themselves cannot use "asyncio.create_task()". Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

This is a based code I have written to demonstrate my issue:

async def task2():
   print("Task 2 was called")

async def task1():
   print("Task 1 was called")
   asyncio.create_task(task2())

async def main():
   print("Main was called")
   asyncio.create_task(task1())

asyncio.run(main())

It prints:

Main was called
Task 1 was called

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated :D

Solution

You can create all the tasks and then asyncio.gather() them

await asyncio.gather(*[task1(), task2()])
