Agree with Aurelien Lambert: if you call task.cancel() there is no
sense for expecting a normal result from a task.
My typical code for task cancellation looks like
task.cancel()
with contextlib.suppress(asyncio.CancelledError):
await task
If you need a partial task result you probably can build something
with asyncio.Condition (or use queue)
