Okay, you've actually hit on something that is not super-well explored - 
the coexistence of two programming systems that are both event-loop based.

This came up a while back in a forum, I had to go digging because my 
memory isn't that good:

https://discuss.python.org/t/connecting-asyncio-and-tkinter-event-loops/14722/4

maybe some nuggets in that, seems like people do have it working, but 
Python itself didn't do anything specific to make it easy (see Guido's 
comment)
