Guido van Rossum <guido at python.org> added the comment:
So I just realized that the OP's description is slightly misleading. (Their code is spot on though!)
The code does not create an unwaited-for *task*, assuming that "task" refers to the asyncio.Task class.
What is created is a *coroutine* object that's never awaited (as the quoted RuntimeWarning message says: "coroutine 'foo' was never awaited").
So the thing that needs to be closed in the bowels of _ensure_future() is indeed the argument (coro_or_future), in case it is a coroutine object.
