The problem
You’re writing some async python code and you find this error.
TypeError: 'coroutine' object is not subscriptable
Personally, I have often encountered this error with my Jupyter Notebook
The why
This error is occurring because you are trying to use square bracket notation to access a coroutine object, which is not allowed. Coroutines are not subscriptable, meaning you cannot use indexing on them. Await the coroutine and then access the field needed.
Therefore, to resolve the problem, surrender your await call with parenthesis.
Example
# ❌ Don't do that
await myfunction(myarg)[0]
await myfunction2(myarg).choices
# ✅
(await myfunction(myarg))[0]
(await myfunction2(myarg)).choices
