         The default `asyncio` event loop policy only automatically creates
         event loops in the main threads. Other threads must create event
         loops explicitly or `asyncio.get_event_loop` (and therefore
         `.IOLoop.current`) will fail. Installing this policy allows event
         loops to be created automatically on any thread, matching the
         behavior of Tornado versions prior to 5.0 (or 5.0 on Python 2).
