[Python-ideas] Re: concurrent.futures cancel pending at Executor.shutdown

Hmm, it should be possible. Do you specifically mean cancelling the pending futures once a single one of the submitted functions raises an exception, or cancelling the pending futures when the Executor itself raises an exception (I.E. BrokenProcessPool)? I would assume the prior, since that seems more useful to me.

I was referring to any exception within the context manager of the executor, not the futures or just the executor's exceptions, something such as the following:

with ThreadPoolExecutor(cancel_on_error=True) as executor: # Code here raise Exception

Then if Executor.__exit__ detects an exception it would call shutdown with cancel_futures set to True.
