We're now using asyncio for page split concurrency, but because the client itself is not async, we need to manage our own event loop. This complains if your environment already has a running event loop. For instance, setting split_pdf_page=True in a jupyter cell will give you RuntimeError: This event loop is already running.

Turns out there's a simple library to allow for nested event loops. We just apply the monkeypatch in split_pdf_hook.py and the error goes away.

To verify, you'll need to install the current client on main, test in jupyter, then install on this branch and verify the error is gone.

• Checkout the main branch and run pip install -e . in your pyenv to install the local version of the client
• Run make run-jupyter and open up the sample notebook in _jupyter/.
• Update the sample code to use split_pdf_page=True. Change the server_url to hit your local server, or add your freemium api key to the snippet. Once the result starts coming back, you should get the above error.
• Checkout this branch and install locally again
• Restart your kernel and try your snippet again. The error should be gone.
