When create_connection() is cancelled with a TimeoutError, sock_connect() coroutine gets the exception, but it doesn't unregister the file descriptor for write event. create_connection() gets the TimeoutError and closes the socket. If you call again create_connection(), the new socket will likely gets the same file descriptor, which is still registered in the selector. When sock_connect() calls add_writer(), it tries to modify the entry instead of creating a new one. This issue was originally reported in the Trollius project, but the bug comes from Tulip in fact (Trollius is based on Tulip): https://bitbucket.org/enovance/trollius/issue/15/after-timeouterror-on-wait_for This change fixes the race condition. It also makes sock_connect() more reliable (and portable) is sock.connect() raises an InterruptedError. --- de993bd9b68f1a1c2a3208e2024c94f99eb6cd05
