This seems non-trivial to fix; even if some other event loop policy
might work, the whole event loop policy system is deprecated and will be
removed in Python 3.16 according to
https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-policy.html, so this really
needs an active upstream maintainer to do whatever redesign is
appropriate. Unfortunately, there've been no upstream commits for over
three years (see also https://github.com/aio-libs/aiozmq/issues/191).
I don't see any reverse-dependencies in Debian, so I wonder if it's time
to just remove this package? CCing the Python team and Piotr (who
originally added this package) for second opinions.
Thanks,
