sdk examples loop error in Python 3.10

Error when running any sdk example in Python 3.10

As of 3.10, the *loop* parameter was removed from Event() since it is no longer necessary

I get this error in any sdk example only with Python 3.10. The previous versions work.

Is it a mistake on my side or just a missing udpate? If it is a missing update for the newer Python version, are there any plans of it being fixed in the near future?

I get the same error when using python 3.10. I think it because the sdk uses a deprecated parameters in asyncio since python 3.6 - 3.7. Please refer to this question on stackoverflow. I'm not quite familiar with asyncio but maybe the best solution is to fork the repo and change the loop reference to get_event_loop() call

Change the following files (assuming you've used virtualenv to create venv):

cd <root_of_vector_project>
source venv/bin/active

Ok, now change the following lines (currently 77-79) in venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/anki_vector/connection.py from:

        self._granted_event = asyncio.Event(loop=loop)
        self._lost_event = asyncio.Event(loop=loop)
        self._request_event = asyncio.Event(loop=loop)

To:

        self._granted_event = asyncio.Event()
        self._lost_event = asyncio.Event()
        self._request_event = asyncio.Event()

And also change venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/anki_vector/events.py (currently line 133) from:

self._done_signal = asyncio.Event(loop=self._loop)

To:

self._done_signal = asyncio.Event()

Hope that helps!
