[issue28274] asyncio does not call exception handler if task stored

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

In the first case, once the loop has run the task it no longer has a reference to it, and it gets GCed.  The __del__ method of the task calls your exception handler.  In the second case, you have a reference to it, so __del__ does not get called.

If you want the exception to be realized in the second case, you have to yield from it somewhere in your program.
