Description

aioloop-proxy provide a proxy instance that is fully compatible with asyncio.AbstractEventLoop but allows to cooperate of multiple nested proxies at the same time.

From pytest-asyncio point of view, a session-scope fixture can use a session-level loop proxy that can cooperate with module-level, class-level, and function-level ones providing good test isolation.

I have no proof of concept for pytest-asyncio yet, if somebody with deep pytest internals knowledge can help -- you are welcome!

Research direction

Start by reading the aioloop-proxy project description and pytest-asyncio's existing loop and fixture handling. A useful result would be a working proof of concept showing nested session-, module-, class-, and function-level loop proxies with test isolation.
