AttributeError: module 'asyncio' has no attribute 'get_event_loop

[Susmitha]

Hi all

I am trying to use Python asyncio module.
Adding my code snippet below :

import asyncio

async def speak_async():  
    print('OMG asynchronicity!')

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()  
loop.run_until_complete(speak_async())  
loop.close() 

Am getting the following error while executing the script : "AttributeError: module 'asyncio' has no attribute 'get_event_loop'".
Am using Python 3.5.
Please share you valuable suggestion to solve the issue.

I can't reproduce the error.
OS, Python version? More details, please

make sure your file (or another one in the same folder) is not named asyncio.py
