More precisely, uvloop is an "asyncio.AbstractEventLoop" implementation using libuv. It can be used instead of the default asyncio.SelectorEventLoop[0] on Lunix(? not Windows at least: https://github.com/MagicStack/uvloop/issues/14 https://github.com/MagicStack/uvloop/issues/14). You will still, for better or worse, use the asyncio standard library when writing code running on uvloop.
