Guido van Rossum added the comment: I've meditated on this and I've changed my mind. A task that awaits itself is so obviously not following the task protocol that it should be shot on sight. No exceptions. (Only the task itself should ever set the result or exception, and *only* by returning or raising. So the only way a task waiting for itself could be unblocked is through cancellation, and there are better ways to wait forever until cancelled.)
IOW @1st1 I think it's okay to detect this and raise an exception. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27972> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
