To handle signals and to execute subprocesses, the event loop must be run in

To schedule a coroutine object from a different thread, the

The :meth:`BaseEventLoop.run_in_executor` method can be used with a thread pool
executor to execute a callback in different thread to not block the thread of
the event loop.
