RuntimeError: This event loop is already running in python is an occurs which occurs when you are not using nest_async or asyncio.
This post is a guide showing you why you are having this error and how you can get rid of it in the most efficient way possible, I will also include some alternative solutions that may help you.
Exploring the RuntimeError: This event loop is already running in python
The error can happen to anyone who is not using nest_async or asyncio.
Bellow we will take care of the error using multiple possible solutions according to your needs.
Solution 1 : using asyncio
The first solution to this problem is to work with asyncio, you can do that by using the code bellow.
#
import asyncio
asyncio.set_event_loop(asyncio.new_event_loop())
#
If this does not work for you, I am sure the solution bellow will work.
Solution 2 : using nest_async
The second solution is to use nest_async. First we should start by installing nest_async using pip.
#
pip install nest-asyncio
#
After that, these two lines need to be added to your code.
#
import nest_asyncio
nest_asyncio.apply()
#
If this solution has solved your problem, great. If not, you should try the solution bellow.
Solution 3 : another nest-asyncio solution
The solution above should solve your problem, this one is basically the same except the code is a little different.
First, we install nest_async.
#
pip install nest-asyncio
#
Then you can add these lines in your file.
#
import nest_asyncio
nest_asyncio.apply()
__import__('IPython').embed()
#
This should be enough, good luck with your projects and thank you.
