Cancel Async Tasks

关于

Mastering asynchronous task management in Python is crucial for building resilient applications, and this skill provides the definitive patterns for handling complex cancellation scenarios. It bridges the gap between low-level system signals like SIGINT and high-level asyncio coroutines, ensuring that keyboard interrupts trigger proper propagation of cancellation errors. By providing clear guidance on signal handlers, synchronous wrappers, and Python 3.11's TaskGroup, this skill helps developers avoid common pitfalls like swallowed exceptions or incomplete cleanup, making it indispensable for production-grade CLI tools and background services.
