Is this backwards compatible with 3.8+?

it should be, get_running_loop was added in 3.7.

I recommend you use both new_event_loop and set_event_loop to the loop the latter creates because:

• get_running_loop returns the running loop or raises an error if none
  in that case, you'd have to create and set a new AbstractEventLoop, just in case there is no running one.

same thing happens with get_event_loop tho, only difference is it raises a deprecation warning instead of runtime error

Fair enough, but using it plainly would raise a RuntimeError if the running loop is in fact none, so it should be used within a try/except block with the concept of making and assigning a new event loop and then use it. In summary it basically is a coverage because the running loop may be none

What's the update on this? It's pretty stale by this point.
