New submission from Guilherme Salgado <gsalg...@gmail.com>:
A coroutine will hang forever if it that catches an exception sent via its
throw() method and then makes async calls while handling that exception. The
same coroutine will complete just fine if the exception is instead raised from
within it. Here's a script that demonstrates that:
```
import asyncio
import sys
async def sleep_on_exc(inject):
if inject:
asyncio.ensure_future(inject_exc(coro))
try:
await asyncio.sleep(0.2)
if not inject:
print("Raising KeyboardInterrupt")
raise KeyboardInterrupt()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
print("I'm not done yet")
await asyncio.sleep(0.1)
print("Now I'm done")
async def inject_exc(coro):
await asyncio.sleep(0.1)
print("Injecting KeyboardInterrupt")
coro.throw(KeyboardInterrupt)
coro = sleep_on_exc(sys.argv[1] == "inject")
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(coro)
```
```
$ python throw.py raise
Raising KeyboardInterrupt
I'm not done yet
Now I'm done
```
```
$ python throw.py inject
Injecting KeyboardInterrupt
I'm not done yet # It hangs forever here until you Ctrl-C
^CTraceback (most recent call last):
...
```
