asyncio.get_event_loop().close() requires Pythonista 3 reboot

https://forum.omz-software.com/topic/3240/asyncio-doesn-t-work-in-pythonista-3

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.close()  # this will throw a RuntimeError on subsequent runs until Pythonista 3 is rebooted

RuntimeError: There is no current event loop in thread xxx

Workaround: Don't call loop.close()
@jsbain workaround: loop = asyncio.get_event_loop_policy().new_event_loop()

Not a pythonista bug. OP used wrong method to get a new event loop. s/b

loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()

If you close an event loop from IDLE for example, you will get the same behavior.

Well to be fair, I didn't write any code. I literally open the example from the documentation verbatim: Section 18.5.3.1.1 example hello world coroutine

All through the documentation it has get_event_loop() in the examples ?
