I asked on pydev list and was pointed to
https://bugs.python.org/issue23057
(where treated as missing feature ).  It is desired that this stop 
immediately on Windows as on Unix.

I suggest you post your minimal example there.  User interest in an 
issue being fixed and willingness to test patches can help motivate.

Even more minimal:

import asyncio
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_forever

also not interruptible,
