ainput can't be cancelled

[samskiter]

Similar to #104

I have a task that waits for user input but I'd like to be able to cancel that task - unfortunately is seems that I can't do that when using ainput - the cancellation is simply ignored and the program continues to wait for user input.

Or am I missing something?

Hi @samskiter and thanks for the report :)

I just tried the following example on linux with python 3.11 and it seems to work fine:

import asyncio
import aioconsole

async def main():
    try:
        async with asyncio.timeout(3):
            print(await aioconsole.ainput())
    except TimeoutError:
        print("Timeout!")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

Could provide more information about your code, OS and python version?
