Description
Bug report
Bug description:
This program reports ResourceWarning: unclosed event loop <ProactorEventLoop running=False closed=False debug=False> only on Windows and only since 3.14:
import asyncio
asyncio.set_event_loop(loop := asyncio.new_event_loop())
loop.run_until_complete(asyncio.sleep(1))
Other platforms and versions in the 3.9-3.15 Linux-MacOS-Windows matrix don't do that.
See jobs.
I've reproduced this at main too.
Key things I'm investigating:
- Is it mandatory to call
.close()manually, if we don't use a runner?- If yes, why does only Windows 3.14+ proactor loop raise this warning, and loops on other platforms and versions do not?
- If no (since most platforms and versions seemingly do not require this), why does the loop raise the warning?
- In general, could and should the asyncio REPL use a runner?
I've found this while working on the asyncio REPL. This issue blocks me from completing #140287. Note that the asyncio REPL does call .stop(); it only doesn't call .close(). .stop() is not meant to stop the loop for good (the loop is re-entrant), .close() is irreversible and idempotent.
CPython versions tested on:
3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14, 3.15, CPython main branch
Operating systems tested on:
Windows, macOS, Linux
