[New-bugs-announce] [issue47190] Integrating tkinter and asyncio event loops

[Skip Montanaro]

New submission from Skip Montanaro <skip.montanaro at gmail.com>:

After looking around and asking, it appears there is no built-in integration of the tkinter and asyncio event loops. That would seem to be a good thing, at least as an example. I wrote a simple hello world which creates an AsyncTk class and uses asyncio-driven event handling. This is clearly incomplete, but might be a useful starting point, even if just as a seed for discussion or as an example for tkinter or asyncio documentation.

The code in its most basic form is attached. (I have another version which uses pynput to track keyboard and mouse events.)
