What is wrong with this async view?

async def view(request):
    result = some_sync_function()
    return HttpResponse(result)

Assuming some_sync_function() is a blocking call.

ACalling blocking sync function inside async view blocks the event loop.

BHttpResponse cannot be returned from async views.

CThe function should be defined with def, not async def.

DThe view must await the HttpResponse.

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand blocking calls in async views
Calling blocking synchronous functions inside async views blocks the event loop, negating async benefits.
Step 2: Check other options
HttpResponse can be returned directly from async views. The function is correctly defined with async def. HttpResponse is not awaitable.
