New submission from Taras Voinarovskyi <voyn1...@gmail.com>:
Hi, during migration to Python 3.8.6 we encountered a behavior change from
previous versions: wait_for ignored the request to cancellation and returned
instead. After investigation, it seems to be related to the update in bpo-32751
and is only reproduced if the waited task is finished when cancellation of
wait_for happens (code mistakes external CancelledError for a timeout).
The following example can reproduce the behavior on both 3.8.6 and 3.9.0 for me:
```
import asyncio
async def inner():
return
async def with_for_coro():
await asyncio.wait_for(inner(), timeout=100)
await asyncio.sleep(1)
print('End of with_for_coro. Should not be reached!')
async def main():
task = asyncio.create_task(with_for_coro())
await asyncio.sleep(0)
assert not task.done()
task.cancel()
print('Called task.cancel()')
await task # -> You would expect a CancelledError to be raised.
asyncio.run(main())
```
Changing the wait time before cancellation slightly will return the correct
behavior and CancelledError will be raised.
