[FIXED] How do I close await <coroutine> in IPython?

Issue

I am trying to learn asyncio. I have this coroutine:
co_get_json = <coroutine object Client.get_json at 0x7fcd5dff9d40>

It has a corresponding non-async version get_json.

I then typed await co_r in IPython. Now anytime I run get_json (the non async version) I get the error RuntimeError: This event loop is already running.

How do I close the event loop?
>>>asyncio.get_event_loop()
<_UnixSelectorEventLoop running=True closed=False debug=False>.

If I type asyncio.get_event_loop().stop(), my IPython kernel dies. I've tried restarting to no avail.

Solution

After reading the IPython docs, I finally fixed it by installing nest-asyncio and running nest_asyncio.apply(). Hopefully this will help future users!
