> How much time did you waste debugging this?

Not much: less than 5 minutes.  While I *probably* won't make this mistake 
again (though I'm not going to make any promises on that front), it would be 
nice to prevent other people from doing so.

More info: I got to the issue by randomly pasting examples from the asyncio 
docs, one of which had a `.close` call in, without taking the time to read and 
understand those docs properly first - I was keen to get to the coroutine part 
of it and didn't want to spend time on the event loop details.  Without having 
thought about it, I wasn't expecting the result of `get_event_loop` to be a 
singleton; once I figured that bit out it was clear what was going on.

So yes, stupidity on my part.  I'd like to bet that I won't be the only person 
who runs into this, though.
