# Windows OS-specific HACK to silence exception thrown on event loop being closed
# as part of the asyncio library's proactor
# Hack sourced from an issue on the aiohttp library:
#   https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/issues/4324#issuecomment-733884349
# This assumes you have the asyncio library installed
