python 3.6 and ValueError: loop argument must agree with Future

Question

I just want to run a simple test example yet I get the below error. How do I resolve?

import asyncio
import uvloop
import concurrent.futures
import time
asyncio.set_event_loop_policy(uvloop.EventLoopPolicy())

async def do_some_work(x):

    while True:
        print("Waiting " + str(x))
        await asyncio.sleep(x)

if __name__ == '__main__': 


    loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()
    tasks = [asyncio.ensure_future(do_some_work(2)), 
             asyncio.ensure_future(do_some_work(5))]
    loop.run_until_complete(asyncio.gather(*tasks))

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/worker_why.py", line 23, in <module>
    loop.run_until_complete(asyncio.gather(*tasks))

ValueError: loop argument must agree with Future

Answer 1

loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()

If you create new event loop and don't want to pass it everywhere, you should also make this loop current for context:

loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()
asyncio.set_event_loop(loop)
