!contextvars --- Context Variables — Context Variables
This class is used to declare a new Context Variable, e.g. The required name parameter is used for introspection and debug purposes. The optional keyword-only default parameter is returned by ContextVar.get when no value for the variable is found in the current context. Important: Context Variables

This class is used to declare a new Context Variable, e.g.
The required name parameter is used for introspection and debug purposes.
The optional keyword-only default parameter is returned by ContextVar.get when no value for the variable is found in the current context.
Important: Context Variables should be created at the top module level and never in closures. Context objects hold strong references to context variables which prevents context variables from being properly garbage collected.
!ContextVar\s are generic over the type of their contained value.
Token objects are returned by the ContextVar.set method. They can be passed to the ContextVar.reset method to revert the value of the variable to what it was before the corresponding set. A single token cannot reset a context variable more than once.
Tokens support the context manager protocol to automatically reset context varia
