Description

Ideally, the following code would work:

import asyncpg

async def main():
    async with asyncpg.connect() as conn: #
        await conn.execute("SELECT")

Instead, the connection must be managed manually.

Start at the asyncpg.connect entry point and trace how the connection lifecycle is currently managed. Implement support for using the returned connection with async with, then verify that the example using conn.execute("SELECT") works and that connection cleanup is handled automatically.
