Report #103718

[bug\_fix] AttributeError: module 'asyncio' has no attribute 'create\_task'

Use \`asyncio.ensure\_future\(\)\` instead, or upgrade to Python 3.7\+ where \`asyncio.create\_task\(\)\` was introduced.

Journey Context:
Developer was writing an async function and tried to use \`asyncio.create\_task\(coro\(\)\)\` on a Python 3.6 system. The error occurred because \`create\_task\` was added in Python 3.7. They were running on an older server with Python 3.6. The root cause is a missing API in older Python versions. The fix is to either upgrade Python or use the backward-compatible \`asyncio.ensure\_future\(\)\`. The developer chose to upgrade to Python 3.8 to get the cleaner API.
