Thanks for creating this issue!

Port of bpo-37228 is applied in #343, but this Debian bug is actually caused by bpo-30064, I think at the moment we could safely skip the hanging test tests.test_sockets.TestAIOSockets.test_sock_cancel_add_reader_race before there's a proper fix.

fixed in #346 and python/cpython#20369

This is still an issue on python 3.8.3.

Trying to update nixpkgs package jonringer/nixpkgs@c7a6903 off of latest master, and test suite still hangs. Unfortunately I'm not sure what tests is hanging

[fantix]

right - sorry I think we should skip the whole Python 3.8 as the fix was only backported to 3.9. I'll create a PR for that.
