 The easiest way to get an event loop is to call the :func:`get_event_loop`
 function.

+.. function:: get_event_loop()
+
+   Get the event loop for current context. Returns an event loop object
+   implementing :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``.

+Run an event loop
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. method:: BaseEventLoop.run_forever()
+
+   Run until :meth:`stop` is called.
+
+.. method:: BaseEventLoop.run_in_executor(executor, callback, \*args)
+
+   XXX
+
+.. method:: BaseEventLoop.run_until_complete(future)
+
+   Run until the :class:`Future` is done.
+
+   If the argument is a coroutine, it is wrapped in a :class:`Task`.
+
+   Return the Future's result, or raise its exception.
+
+.. method:: stop()
+
+   Stop running the event loop.
+
+   Every callback scheduled before :meth:`stop` is called will run.
+   Callback scheduled after :meth:`stop` is called won't.  However, those
+   callbacks will run if :meth:`run_forever` is called again later.
+
+.. method:: BaseEventLoop.close()
+
+   Close the event loop.
+
+   This clears the queues and shuts down the executor, but does not wait for
+   the executor to finish.
+
+.. method:: BaseEventLoop.is_running()
+
+   Returns running status of event loop.
+
+
+Calls
+^^^^^
+
+.. method:: BaseEventLoop.call_soon(callback, \*args)
+
+   Arrange for a callback to be called as soon as possible.
+
+   This operates as a FIFO queue, callbacks are called in the order in
+   which they are registered.  Each callback will be called exactly once.
+
+   Any positional arguments after the callback will be passed to the
+   callback when it is called.
+
+.. method: BaseEventLoop.call_soon_threadsafe(callback, \*args)
+
+   Like :meth:`call_soon`, but thread safe.
