STINNER Victor added the comment:

Oh, in fact recvall() is a bad name. The io module uses the "readall()" name to 
really read all content of a file, whereas "recvall(N)" here only read up to N 
bytes.

It would be better to reuse the same name than asyncio, "readexactly(N)":
https://docs.python.org/dev/library/asyncio-stream.html#asyncio.StreamReader.readexactly

asyncio and http.client already have their IncompleteRead exceptions. Maybe it 
would be time to add a builtin exception?
