[New-bugs-announce] [issue21962] No timeout for asyncio.Event.wait() or asyncio.Condition.wait() ?

[Alexandre JABORSKA]

New submission from Alexandre JABORSKA:

Hi,

  Nor asyncio.Event.wait() neither asyncio.Condition.wait() (or .wait_for()) has a timeout parameter, while threading.Event.wait() has one.

  A timeout can be specified for the whole task using asyncio.wait_for() but it's tricky.

  I guess asyncio implementation could allow a timeout parameter (but I've not looked at the code yet). Maybe is this a feature ?
