Function _schedule_coro

scrapy/utils/defer.py:527–539

Schedule the coroutine as a task or a Deferred. This doesn't store the reference to the task/Deferred, so a better alternative is calling :func:`scrapy.utils.defer.deferred_from_coro`, keeping the result, and adding proper exception handling (e.g. errbacks) to it.
