IIRC at very early stages Guido van Rossum decided to *freeze* `CancelledError`: user code should not derive from the exception. Like you never derive from StopIteration.

Hi, I want to ask how people feel about the following.
If you raise a subclass of CancelledError from within a task and then call task.result(), CancelledError is raised rather than the subclass.
Here is some code to illustrate:
class MyCancelledError(CancelledError): pass async def raise_my_cancel(): raise MyCancelledError() task = asyncio.ensure_future(raise_my_cancel()) try: await task except Exception: pass assert task.cancelled() # Raises CancelledError and not MyCancelledError. task.result()Does this seem right to people? Is there a justification for this?
If it would help for the discussion, I could provide a use case.
Thanks a lot, --Chris _______________________________________________ Async-sig mailing list Async-sig@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/async-sig Code of Conduct: https://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
