After visiting three conferences this summer and talking to asyncio users, it seems that this is a very serious pitfall. At least 8 different people shared stories about really hard to debug problems caused by "except Exception" code blocking cancellation. I now think we should fix this and make CancelledError a BaseException. Doing that isn't as straightforward as it seems as we have to first fix how asyncio handles BaseExceptions (my next ToDo). ---------- resolution: rejected -> stage: resolved -> status: closed -> open versions: -Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32528> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
