asyncio.get_event_loop().add_reader() doesn't work on windows out of the box about aiomqtt HOT 4 CLOSED

Thanks for taking your time to document this behaviour and make me aware of it.

Indeed, it is an upstream issue so we are not able to fix it directly. I think it is a good idea to simply document this behaviour in lieu of a proper fix. This way, Windows users have a chance to avoid this apparently common issue with the ProactorEventLoop. I don't think that we should force a specific event loop implemention on our Windows users. Let them keep their choice of event loop and simply raise awareness of the issue instead.

I suggest that we add a "Note for Windows Users" section to the Readme.md file that explains this issue and the possible work-arounds. Maybe mention both SelectorEventLoop and uvloop just to give our users some choice. How does that sound to you?

Do you want to make a pull request or should I just go ahead and implement the change?

Great! :) I'll go ahead and document the behaviour when I have the time.

Thanks for reporting the issue. Please let me know if you encounter more strange behaviour like this.

I had the same issue. Took me a while to get to this point because the error thrown from on_socket_open doesn't really show what type of error is thrown.

It only says:
Caught exception in on_socket_open:
