PythonAnywhere is not a Windows environment, so Windows-specific APIs like asyncio.windows_events will not work.

@Glenn:

And which is the solution to resolve this issue, I have the same problem and I develop all the app into a windows environment

best regards

If the app needs to run in a Windows environment, you'll need to run it on a Windows machine -- which means that you can't run it on PythonAnywhere.

If you're getting the same error, that means that your code uses Windows-specific event loops.
