Potential Unhandled Exceptions in Perpetual Tasks

See original GitHub issue

The bot often makes use of the pattern of loop.create_task with tasks that are meant to run perpetually. However, there are no provisions for restarting tasks should any exceptions occur in them.

Discord.py’s tasks extension looks promising and that could be used going forward. As an alternative, some wrapper could be created that just logs exceptions and tries again, or using Future.add_done_callback. There are probably more possible approaches.

See discussion in #360 for details on a particular case.

I’d suggest you hold off for now. Scheduling is one of the first things being ported to bot-core, and I expect a PR within the next couple days.

Maybe it’ll be released by the time we’re done moving over to Django.
