Thanks for the report. This looks like a valid change to me as I can see from 
the docstring it says it can be None but in the source code there is an 
explicit check that if self._local._loop which is returned is None then raise a 
RuntimeError. I would propose removing the docstring in the example.


# Docstring says can be None

./python.exe -m pydoc asyncio.events.BaseDefaultEventLoopPolicy.get_event_loop 
| cat
Help on function get_event_loop in asyncio.events.BaseDefaultEventLoopPolicy:

asyncio.events.BaseDefaultEventLoopPolicy.get_event_loop = get_event_loop(self)
    Get the event loop.

    This may be None or an instance of EventLoop.


# RuntimeError is raised for None

./python.exe -m inspect asyncio.events:BaseDefaultEventLoopPolicy.get_event_loop
    def get_event_loop(self):
        """Get the event loop.

        This may be None or an instance of EventLoop.
        """
        if (self._local._loop is None and
                not self._local._set_called and
                isinstance(threading.current_thread(), threading._MainThread)):
            self.set_event_loop(self.new_event_loop())

        if self._local._loop is None:
            raise RuntimeError('There is no current event loop in thread %r.'
                               % threading.current_thread().name)

        return self._local._loop
