[issue26923] asyncio.gather drops cancellation

[Johannes Ebke]

Johannes Ebke added the comment:

Thank you for providing the relevant documentation link.

I just noticed that it should probably be clarified that in case the outer Future is cancelled, and all children that are not already done ignore the cancellation (a.k.a. catch the CancelledError), the cancellation of the outer Future does not continue.

This is different to the behaviour of asyncio.wait_for, which always raises a CancelledError.
