Note that new callbacks scheduled by callbacks will not run in this case; instead, they will run the next time run_forever or run_until_complete is called.\n\nReturn True if the event loop is currently running.\n\nReturn True if the event loop was closed.\n\nThe loop must not be running when this function is called. Any pending callbacks will be discarded.\n\nThis method clears all queues and shuts down the executor, but does not wait for the executor to finish.\n\nThis method is idempotent and irreversible. No other methods should be called after the event loop is closed.\n\nSchedule all currently open asynchronous generator objects to close with an ~agen.aclose call. After calling this method, the event loop will issue a warning if a new asynchronous generator is iterated. This should be used to reliably finalize all scheduled asynchronous generators.\n\nNote that there is no need to call this function when asyncio.run is used.\n\nSchedule the closure of the default executor and wait for it to join all of the threads in the ~concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor. Once this method has been called, using the default executor with loop.run_in_executor will raise a RuntimeError.\n\nThe timeout parameter specifies the amount of time (in float seconds) the executor will be given to finish joining. With the default, None, the executor is allowed an unlimited amount of time.\n\nIf the timeout is reached, a RuntimeWarning is emitted and the default executor is terminated without waiting for its threads to finish joining.\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Python Documentation under PSF-2.0.
