Description

When migrating to python3.12 I started encountering the following error:

/opt/homebrew/lib/python3.12/site-packages/prompt_toolkit/application/application.py:961: DeprecationWarning: There is no current event loop
  loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()

Research direction

Start by inspecting prompt_toolkit/application/application.py at line 961 and reproducing the warning with Python 3.12. Trace the event-loop lookup there and verify that the reported DeprecationWarning no longer appears while the application still starts correctly.
