That's quite an unfortunate limitation ! I'm working on a GUI frontend to a Python tool I wrote using asyncio, and the GUI (Qt-based) itself insists to run its own event loop in the main thread. I'm not sure how to work around this limitation, but I can report that my previously reported strategy appears to be working well (so far). What are the issues I should expect to encounter running an asyncio event loop in a worker thread ?
