I noticed the following warning in test_asyncio (see above). It understand that when the asyncio Future ("destination" in _chain_future) is cancelled, _call_check_cancel() calls source_loop.call_soon_threadsafe(source.cancel) where source is a concurrent.futures.Future object.

Then futures.Future.cancel() calls self._invoke_callbacks() which calls _call_set_state() of _chain_future(). _call_set_state() calls dest_loop.call_soon_threadsafe(_set_state, destination, source) but at this point, the event loop is closed. Morever, destination (the asyncio future) is already cancelled, but it doesn't make sense to try to copy the state: source and destination are already cancelled.

I suggest to modify _call_set_state() to do nothing if destination is already cancelled:

    def _call_set_state(source):
        if destination.cancelled():
            return
        (...)

*But* I see that futures.Future has a set_running_or_notify_cancel() method which seems to be important to call. Maybe we should call it in this case?

    def _call_set_state(source):
        if destination.cancelled():
            source.set_running_or_notify_cancel()
            return
        (...)

ok

I'm sorry, but I'm not interested anymore to work on asyncio, and I'm unable to say if the bug was fixed since I reported it or not :-/ But I saw work on cancellation. So maybe it was already fixed. I now just close the issue.
