Still, let's discuss.\n\nTask A awaits task B. Someone cancels task A. Task B gets cancelled instead.\n\nThis probably makes sense in some contexts, for example if task A is the logical owner/parent of task B.\nBut in my case, task B was created in a long-lived taskgroup. Its lifecycle is independent of task A. They are now coupled by this invisible link created by the await.\n\nI wonder if we could make this cancellation forwarding be skipped in some cases, like if the awaitee was created through a task group (since that mitigates the danger of leaking tasks).","author":{"url":"https://github.com/Tinche","@type":"Person","name":"Tinche"},"datePublished":"2025-09-09T20:58:16.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":6},"url":"https://github.com/138717/cpython/issues/138717"}
