The default policy defines context as the current thread, and manages an event
loop per thread that interacts with :mod:`asyncio`. If the current thread
doesn't already have an event loop associated with it, the default policy's

called from the main thread, but raises :exc:`RuntimeError` otherwise.

happens when :meth:`~AbstractEventLoopPolicy.get_event_loop` is called from a
running future/coroutine, in which case it will return the current loop
running that future/coroutine.
