The object returned can be iterated as an asynchronous iterator or a plain

awaitables are yielded if they are tasks or futures. This makes it easy to
correlate previously-scheduled tasks with their results:

The statement

res = await shield(task)
is exactly equivalent to the statement
res = await something()
*except* that if the coroutine containing it is cancelled, the
task running in something() is not cancelled. From the POV of
something(), the cancellation did not happen. But its caller is
still cancelled, so the yield-from expression still raises
CancelledError. Note: If something() is cancelled by other means
this will still cancel shield().
If you want to completely ignore cancellation (not recommended)
you can combine shield() with a try/except clause, as follows:
task = asyncio.create_task(something())
try:
res = await shield(task)
except CancelledError:
res = None
Save a reference to tasks passed to this function, to avoid
a task disappearing mid-execution. The event loop only keeps
weak references to tasks. A task that isn't referenced elsewhere
may get garbage collected at any time, even before it's done.

scheduled to an event loop). The constructor argument can be any callable
that returns a Task-compatible object and has a signature compatible
with `Task.__init__`; it must have the `eager_start` keyword argument.
Most applications will use `Task` for `custom_task_constructor` and in
this case there's no need to call `create_eager_task_factory()`
directly. Instead the global `eager_task_factory` instance can be
used. E.g. `loop.set_task_factory(asyncio.eager_task_factory)`.
