no running event loop

[nodermann2]

I can't define connection and start functions without running the event loop.

if PY_37:
    __get_running_loop = asyncio.get_running_loop  # by the reason you can't use the module without a running event loop

I want the connection variable to be global and access functions from other modules while the event loop is not running yet
conn = asynctnt.Connection(host='127.0.0.1', port=3301)

At the moment I have to make a crutch out of the initial function:

async def init_conn():
    global conn
    conn = asynctnt.Connection(host='127.0.0.1', port=3301)
    await asyncio.sleep(0)

so that I can access functions from other modules.

the full example which doesn't work without a crutch:

import asyncio
import asynctnt

conn = asynctnt.Connection(host='127.0.0.1', port=3301)

async def insert(space: str, data, replace=False):
    if not conn.is_connected:
        await conn.connect()
    result = await conn.insert(space, list(data), replace=replace)
    return result[0] if len(result) == 1 else result


async def update(space: str, key, ops):
    if not conn.is_connected:
        await conn.connect()
    key = [key] if type(key) is not list else key
    result = await conn.update(space, key, ops)
    return result[0] if len(result) > 0 else None


async def select(space: str, key=None, index='primary', unpack=True):
    if not conn.is_connected:
        await conn.connect()
    key = [key] if type(key) is not list and key else key
    result = await conn.select(space, key=key, index=index)
    return result[0] if len(result) == 1 and unpack else result


async def sql(query, args=None, parse_metadata=False):
    if not conn.is_connected:
        await conn.connect()
    result = await conn.sql(query, args, parse_metadata=parse_metadata)
    return result


async def delete(space: str, key):
    if not conn.is_connected:
        await conn.connect()
    key = [key] if type(key) is not list else key
    await conn.delete(space, key)

Hi!
Yeah, I know this became not very convenient for a simple use. This happened because of the support of Python 3.8 (they are ditching all the loop parameters from the entire asyncio).
But I myself was considering to still allow what you are describing, I'll try to work on a fix in a couple of days.
btw - there is no need in asyncio.sleep(0).
