[PATCH 01/10] python/aqmp: add _session_guard()


From: John Snow
Subject: [PATCH 01/10] python/aqmp: add _session_guard()
Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2022 15:59:39 -0500

In _new_session, there's a fairly complex except clause that's used to
give semantic errors to callers of accept() and connect(). We need to
create a new two-step replacement for accept(), so factoring out this
piece of logic will be useful.

Bolster the comments and docstring here to try and demystify what's
going on in this fairly delicate piece of Python magic.

(If we were using Python 3.7+, this would be an @asynccontextmanager. We
don't have that very nice piece of magic, however, so this must take an
Awaitable to manage the Exception contexts properly. We pay the price
for platform compatibility.)
