:func:`get_event_loop` and :func:`set_event_loop` provide convenient access to
event loops managed by the default policy.

Event loop policy interface
---------------------------
.. class:: AbstractEventLoopPolicy
+ Event loop policy.
+
.. method:: get_event_loop()
- Get the event loop for the current context. Returns an event loop object
- implementing the :class:`BaseEventLoop` interface, or raises an exception in case
- no event loop has been set for the current context and the current policy
- does not specify to create one. It should never return ``None``.

.. method:: set_event_loop(loop)
- Set the event loop for the current context to *loop*.
+ Set the event loop for the current context to *loop*.
.. method:: new_event_loop()
- Create and return a new event loop object according to this policy's rules.
- If there's need to set this loop as the event loop for the current context,
- :meth:`set_event_loop` must be called explicitly.
