title: Multiple async requests simultaneously
body: <p>I'm trying to call ~ 300 API calls at the same time, so that I would get the results in a couple of seconds max.</p>
  
  <p>My pseudo-code looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>def function_1():
      colors = ['yellow', 'green', 'blue', + ~300 other ones]
      loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()
      asyncio.set_event_loop(loop)
      res = loop.run_until_complete(get_color_info(colors))
  
  async def get_color_info(colors):
      loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
      responses = []
      for color in colors:
          print("getting color")
          url = "https://api.com/{}/".format(color)
          data = loop.run_in_executor(None, requests.get, url)
          r = await data
          responses.append(r.json())
      return responses
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Doing this I get <code>getting color</code> printed out every second or so and the code takes forever, so I'm pretty sure they don't run simultaneously. What am I doing wrong?</p>
