Async support does not work with Native environment

[remidebette]

Hi,

We have been starting to porting existing Flask code to an asyncio based server (Quart).
Part of it makes use of the Jinja Native environment.

The render_async works very well, but not in conjunction with Native.

Here is replicable code in a python -m asyncio console:

from jinja2.nativetypes import NativeEnvironment

def render(s, my_vars):
    native_environment = NativeEnvironment()
    template = native_environment.from_string(s)
    return template.render(**my_vars)


async def render_async(s, my_vars):
    native_environment = NativeEnvironment(enable_async=True)
    template = native_environment.from_string(s)
    return await template.render_async(**my_vars)

global_vars = {}

number_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
global_vars["number_list"] = number_list

out = render("{{35}}", global_vars)
# int: 35

out = await render_async("{{35}}", global_vars)
# str: '35'


out = render("{{number_list}}", global_vars)
# list: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

out = await render_async("{{number_list}}", global_vars)
# Traceback (most recent call last):
#   File "/Users/A492YC/.pyenv/versions/3.8.1/lib/python3.8/concurrent/futures/_base.py", line 439, in result

# TypeError: sequence item 0: expected str instance, list found

Expected:

In Native mode, instead of forcefully concatenating outputs as strings, outputs of the render_async() should be on par with the render()

Environment:

• Python version: 3.8.1
• Jinja version: 2.11.3

If you have time, I'd appreciate if you could look into fixing this. I'm unlikely to address this any time remotely soon.

[remidebette]

Done.

It is my first time contributing so I am not sure I did it properly.
If the code change is acceptable, would you consider having an intermediate version for it, since this is a bug fix?

Thank you

[davidism]

Looks good overall. It will be in 3.0, I'm only doing security fixes for 2.x.

[remidebette]

Ok, would you happen to know the timeline for the 3.0?
