How close kill a task started with asynckivy in Python3

Question

In the following code, once the async scraper(self) function is initiated, it will run asynchronously forever until the break condition is met.

How can I kill/abort this function prematurely using asynckivy?

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.tabbedpanel import TabbedPanel
import asynckivy as ak

class MyBotLayout(TabbedPanel):

    def pressStart(self):
        self.bot_start.disabled = True
        self.spider_status.text = "Running"
        
        # How to kill this async function below?
        async def scraper(self):
            while 1:
                # do something until break
                if break_condition_met:
                    break
        ak.start(scraper(self))



class MyBotApp(App):
    def build(self):
        return MyBotLayout()

MyBotApp().run()

This wasn't in docs, but found it in site_packages. The solution was to:

# assign a variable to the Task
my_task = ak.start(scraper(self))

And then abort it by calling:

my_task.cancel()
