Asyncio not compatible with python 3.10

[luckydonald]

Describe the bug
The most basic example fails
BaseEventLoop.create_connection() got an unexpected keyword argument 'loop'

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

• install the most recent python

pyenv install 3.10
pyenv use 3.10

• try to run the async example

async def main():
    r.set_loop_type('asyncio')
    connection = await r.connect(db='test')

    await r.table_create('marvel').run(connection)

Expected behavior
It works.

But it's apparently not only the loop parameter:

Bump, running into this now.

Also...
asyncio_net/net_asyncio.py, asyncio.get_event_loop is being deprecated as well. Should be using asyncio.get_running_loop per
https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-eventloop.html

Umm. Not sure if the library is still alive. But in any case, here's what I get when trying to use it with asyncio on python 3.11:

We now have #294 for the Python 3.11 issue.

But there are a bunch of other PRs open that might carry the change -- I guess they should be looked at first.

@antony66 the library is still alive....kinda. We're quite busy and find little time to work on the project that has been abandoned for a long time. Furthermore, the changes in the python ecosystem are happening quite fast.

We're working on supporting python 3.10+ and drop support for python 2.XX . See the branch https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb-python/tree/lsabi/commands

To a basic implementation (asyncio only) we're lacking the last checks here and there on the commands. The rest should be working. If you have knowledge and time enough, feel free to contribute on this branch

asyncio_net/net_asyncio.py, asyncio.get_event_loop is being deprecated as well. Should be using asyncio.get_running_loop per

Thanks for the info. Since get_running_loop is new in Python 3.7 and get_event_loop is not broken yet, I'm going to not update that just yet. (I'm trying to make the minimal set of PR's to get 3.10 and 3.11 more working right now.)

@lsabi let’s see if I can help

[fdemian]

@lsabi I'm having this very issue. I would like to use this driver with python3.11 and onwards.

Is there anythingI can help with? Maybe implement some of the changes suggested in the PR.

[srh]

@fdemian This is now already fixed in the master branch and you could build and use the driver off that yourself. I also created #301 to nag the devs into cutting a new release with these fixes.

[lsabi]

Closing as this has now been fixed with the latest release https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb-python/releases/tag/v2.4.10
