  Description     : Interrupt context manager for asyncio

  This Python module provides a context manager that can be used to interrupt
  a block of code as soon as possible when a future is done.
  .
  The purpose of async_interrupt is to raise an exception as soon as possible
  to avoid any race conditions. It is based loosely on async_timeout by Andrew
  Svetlov and cpython asyncio.timeout.
  .
  Usage:
  .
   async with interrupt(future, ValueError, "message"):
       future.set_result(None)
       await asyncio.sleep(0)
  .
  This package is useful in scenarios where an exception needs to be raised
  immediately to prevent race conditions during asynchronous operations.

I plan to maintain this package as part of the Python team.
