"coroutine was never awaited" and "no running event loop"

[WeepingClown13]

Hi, I noticed that tests in the questionary library fail with prompt-toolkit 3.0.41. The log is below. Note that the same happens in python3.12 as well as 3.11. I am trying to package questionary in debian and this is the only current blocker, so would appreciate if a quick fix can be added. I did try to go through the library a bit myself but saw that fixing one thing breaks another and that probably someone who understands the library better can help more.
