Although I know that you get a lot more asyncio control by importing the asyncio module itself, I'd like to see a way to make simple asynchronous applications without ever importing asyncio itself. To that end, I propose making asyncio.get_event_loop() a builtin. This would enable simple things like this (example copied from <a href="http://websockets.readthedocs.io">websockets.readthedocs.io</a> with slight modifications):</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace;font-size:small;color:#0000ff"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace;font-size:small;color:#0000ff">Â Â import websockets</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace;font-size:small;color:#0000ff">Â Â Â </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace;font-size:small;color:#0000ff">Â Â async def hello():</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace;font-size:small;color:#0000ff">Â Â Â Â async with websockets.connect('wss://<a href="http://echo.websocket.org">echo.websocket.org</a>') as ws:</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace;font-size:small;color:#0000ff">Â Â Â Â Â Â amsg = 'a message'</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace;font-size:small;color:#0000ff">Â Â Â </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace;font-size:small;color:#0000ff">Â Â Â Â Â Â print(f'> {amsg}')</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace;font-size:small;color:#0000ff">Â Â Â Â Â Â await ws.send(amsg)</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace;font-size:small;color:#0000ff">Â Â Â </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace;font-size:small;color:#0000ff">Â Â Â Â Â Â ret = await ws.recv()</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace;font-size:small;color:#0000ff">Â Â Â Â Â Â print(f'< {ret}')</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace;font-size:small;color:#0000ff">Â Â Â </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace;font-size:small;color:#0000ff">Â Â get_event_loop().run_until_complete(hello())</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace;font-size:small;color:#0000ff"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace;font-size:small;color:#0000ff">See how that never imported asyncio?
