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)
That's exactly what I needed - thanks, Marko
async def background_task()
try:
while True:
await perform_task()
await asyncio.sleep(10)
except asyncio.CancelledError:
await perform_cleanup()
At startup -
task = asyncio.ensure_future(background_task())
At shutdown -
task.cancel()
await asyncio.wait([task])
Works perfectly - thanks again.
Frank
