I have some problems with asyncio on Windows - it block where it should go.
Documentation shows that it should work: https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-stream.html -> StreamReader should return something.

See 1st example:

import asyncio

import sys


async def run_stockfish():
    STOCKFISH_PATH = r'C:\root\chess\stockfish\stockfish 9\stockfish_9_x64_bmi2.exe'

    stockfish = await asyncio.subprocess.create_subprocess_exec(
        STOCKFISH_PATH,
        stdin=asyncio.subprocess.PIPE,
        stdout=asyncio.subprocess.PIPE,
        stderr=asyncio.subprocess.PIPE)

    stockfish.stdin.write('uci'.encode())

    while True:
        # BUG? - blocks at this line - no output
        line = await stockfish.stdout.read()
        print(line)

    await stockfish.wait()


if sys.platform == "win32":
    asyncio.set_event_loop_policy(
        asyncio.WindowsProactorEventLoopPolicy())

asyncio.run(run_stockfish(), debug=True)

1st output (nothing):
Python 3.7.1 (v3.7.1:260ec2c36a, Oct 20 2018, 14:57:15) [MSC v.1915 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
runfile('C:/Users/Cezary Wagner/PycharmProjects/stockfish-proxy/sandbox/async_proxy/s01_async_stockfish.py', wdir='C:/Users/Cezary Wagner/PycharmProjects/stockfish-proxy/sandbox/async_proxy')

2nd example:

import asyncio

import sys


async def run_stockfish():
    STOCKFISH_PATH = r'C:\root\chess\stockfish\stockfish 9\stockfish_9_x64_bmi2.exe'

    stockfish = await asyncio.subprocess.create_subprocess_exec(
        STOCKFISH_PATH,
        stdin=asyncio.subprocess.PIPE,
        stdout=asyncio.subprocess.PIPE,
        stderr=asyncio.subprocess.PIPE)

    stockfish.stdin.write('uci'.encode())

    while True:
        # BUG? - blocks at this line
        line = await stockfish.stdout.readline()
        print(line)

    await stockfish.wait()


if sys.platform == "win32":
    asyncio.set_event_loop_policy(
        asyncio.WindowsProactorEventLoopPolicy())

asyncio.run(run_stockfish(), debug=True)

2nd output is little better (first line is read):
Python 3.7.1 (v3.7.1:260ec2c36a, Oct 20 2018, 14:57:15) [MSC v.1915 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
runfile('C:/Users/Cezary Wagner/PycharmProjects/stockfish-proxy/sandbox/async_proxy/s01_async_stockfish.py', wdir='C:/Users/Cezary Wagner/PycharmProjects/stockfish-proxy/sandbox/async_proxy')
b'Stockfish 9 64 BMI2 by T. Romstad, M. Costalba, J. Kiiski, G. Linscott\r\n'

What should be done in both case (or maybe done):
Stockfish 9 64 BMI2 by T. Romstad, M. Costalba, J. Kiiski, G. Linscott
