Karthikeyan Singaravelan <tir.karthi@gmail.com> added the comment: Thanks for the report. This looks like a valid change to me as I can see from the docstring it says it can be None but in the source code there is an explicit check that if self._local._loop which is returned is None then raise a RuntimeError. I would propose removing the docstring in the example. # Docstring says can be None ./python.exe -m pydoc asyncio.events.BaseDefaultEventLoopPolicy.get_event_loop | cat Help on function get_event_loop in asyncio.events.BaseDefaultEventLoopPolicy: asyncio.events.BaseDefaultEventLoopPolicy.get_event_loop = get_event_loop(self) Get the event loop. This may be None or an instance of EventLoop. # RuntimeError is raised for None ./python.exe -m inspect asyncio.events:BaseDefaultEventLoopPolicy.get_event_loop def get_event_loop(self): """Get the event loop. This may be None or an instance of EventLoop. """ if (self._local._loop is None and not self._local._set_called and isinstance(threading.current_thread(), threading._MainThread)): self.set_event_loop(self.new_event_loop()) if self._local._loop is None: raise RuntimeError('There is no current event loop in thread %r.' % threading.current_thread().name) return self._local._loop ---------- versions: +Python 3.9 -Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34344> _______________________________________
