Providing some more background, based on the changes proposed by Kumar in GH-30486:

asyncio.get_event_loop() was marked as deprecated in Python 3.10. Quoting from the asyncio documentation , https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-eventloop.html (as of 3.10):

    Because this function has rather complex behavior (especially when custom
    event loop policies are in use), using the get_running_loop() function is
    preferred to get_event_loop() in coroutines and callbacks.

    [...]

    Deprecated since version 3.10: Deprecation warning is emitted if there is
    no running event loop. In future Python releases, this function will be an
    alias of get_running_loop().


GH-30486 proposes to replace asyncio.get_event_loop() with asyncio.new_event_loop().

Kumar, did you consider using get_running_loop() to retrieve the event loop in the current thread, instead of creating a new one?

get_event_loop() is deprecated when there is no running event loop.
Otherwise, it is equal to get_running_loop() and IS NOT deprecated.

I think there is no reason to replace all occurrences where get_event_loop() works fine.

+1

I provided the grep for information only, hence FTR (for the record).

Yes, I see that now. So using asyncio.new_event_loop instead makes sense.
