Description

The example code of progress_dialog.py is not working.

Actually, I think the issue is with the progress dialog itself:

lib/python3.10/site-packages/prompt_toolkit/shortcuts/dialogs.py", line 267, in progress_dialog
loop = get_running_loop()
RuntimeError: no running event loop

Research direction

Start with examples/dialogs/progress_dialog.py and the progress_dialog entry point in prompt_toolkit/shortcuts/dialogs.py, then run the example to reproduce the no-running-event-loop error. Done means the example and progress dialog no longer raise that error when launched normally.
