the weird condition in the code 
causes the task to end with double exception, hard
to understand what really had happened. 

 
producing output like that:


|    i am task..
|    i keep working
|    Exception in callback Task._step()
|    handle: <Handle Task._step()>
|    Traceback (most recent call last):
|      File "/home/http/Python-3.5.0/lib/python3.5/asyncio/tasks.py", line 239, in _step
|        result = coro.send(value)
|    StopIteration
|
|    During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
|
|    Traceback (most recent call last):
|      File "/home/http/Python-3.5.0/lib/python3.5/asyncio/events.py", line 125, in _run
|        self._callback(*self._args)
|      File "/home/http/Python-3.5.0/lib/python3.5/asyncio/tasks.py", line 241, in _step
|        self.set_result(exc.value)
|      File "/home/http/Python-3.5.0/lib/python3.5/asyncio/futures.py", line 335, in set_result
|        raise InvalidStateError('{}: {!r}'.format(self._state, self))
|    asyncio.futures.InvalidStateError: FINISHED: <Task finished coro=<task() done, defined at test_aio_exception.py:4> exception=RuntimeError('something bad',)>


it would be good to improve that shutdown procedure 
to pinpoint real reason why and when it got into broken state.

(OK, issue should be all cleaned up. :-)

This is doing something different now (on 3.11):

iritkatriel@Irits-MBP cpython % ./python.exe ttt.py
/Users/iritkatriel/src/cpython/ttt.py:5: DeprecationWarning: There is no current event loop
  loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
i am task..

                [here it hangs and I kill it with ctrl-C]

RuntimeError: Task does not support set_exception operation

Python 3.7 forbids Task.set_exception() and Task.set_result(), the error message is pretty clear.

Nothing to do here
