peak.events, for example, lets you have multiple event loops running in the same or different threads.

Different threads is okay if you're willing to use threads, but you might not. The reason you're using an event loop may well be precisely so that you don't have to use threads.

And... how do you run multiple event loops simultaneously in the same thread? That sounds self-contradictory to me.
