In this essay, Brett says that asyncio added an event loop to Python. It did, but it was the second. The tk event loop was added about 20 years ago with tkinter.

One of the things I would love to see (but don't have the time to work on) is a GUI event loop based around async/await. It would be a very useful example to make it clear to people that async/await isn't just about network protocols. Paul
