What it does

Checks for uses of yield from in async functions.

Why is this bad?

Python doesn't support the use of yield from in async functions, and will raise a SyntaxError in such cases.

Instead, considering refactoring the code to use an async for loop instead.

Example

async def numbers():
    yield from [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Use instead:

async def numbers():
    async for number in [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]:
        yield number
