Simple Async Task

import asyncio
import omni

# Async task that pauses simulation once the incoming task is complete
async def pause_sim(task):
    done, pending = await asyncio.wait({task})
    if task in done:
        print("Waited until next frame, pausing")
        omni.timeline.get_timeline_interface().pause()

# Start simulation, then wait a frame and run the pause_sim task
omni.timeline.get_timeline_interface().play()
task = asyncio.ensure_future(omni.kit.app.get_app().next_update_async())
asyncio.ensure_future(pause_sim(task))
