  Description     : Patch asyncio to allow nested event loops

 By design asyncio does not allow its event loop to be nested. This
 presents a practical problem: When in an environment where the event
 loop is already running it's impossible to run tasks and wait for the
 result. This module patches asyncio to allow nested use of asyncio.run
 and loop.run_until_complete.

This package is a dependency for updating the existing qiskit-terra
package to its newest version. The intent is to maintain this package
under the umbrella of the Debian Python Modules Team.
