There were not checks in test.libregrtest.save_env to make sure tests were not mucking with the default event loop. The settings to check seem to be:'asyncio.get_event_loop_policy', 'asyncio.get_event_loop','asyncio_get_exception_handler', 'asyncio_get_debug','asyncio_get_child_watcher',I have a PR that I'm working on that checks these things and it looks like the following tests are being a little sloppy:test_asyncgentest_contextlib_asynctest_coroutinestest_sockettest_sys_settraceAnd test_asyncio never seems to complete.
