[New-bugs-announce] [issue37334] Add a cancel method to asyncio Queues

[Martin Teichmann]

New submission from Martin Teichmann <martin.teichmann at gmail.com>:

When working with queues, it is not uncommon that at some point the producer stops producing data for good, or the consumer stops consuming, for example because a network connection broke down or some user simply closed the session.

In this situation it is very useful to simply cancel all the waiting getters and putters. A simple method can do that, Queue.cancel.
