[Typo: cancel_event_is_set() ==> cancel_event.is_set().] Actually, cancellation is specially supported in asyncio (<URL: https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.Task.cancel>) so this should do: async def background_task(): while True: await perform_task() await asyncio.sleep(10) Marko -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
