[Python] AttributeError: module 'select' has no attribute 'select' error ASYNCIO

I am executing the below code on a windows pc. I read that, by default, Windows can use only 64 sockets in asyncio loop. I don't know if this is the reason for the error.

import aiohttp
import asyncio
import time


async def download_file(url):
print(f'started downloading{url}')
connector = aiohttp.TCPConnector(limit=60)
async with aiohttp.clientSession(connector) as session:
async with session.get(url) as resp:
content = await resp.read()
print (f'Finished download{url}')
return content

async def write_file(n, content):
filename = f'async_{n}.html'
with open(filename,'wb') as f:
print(f'started writing{filename}')
f.write(content)
print(f'Finished writing{filename}')

async def scrape_task(n,url):
content = await download_file(url)
await write_file(n,content)

async def main():
tasks = []
for n,url in enumerate(open('urls.txt').readlines()):
tasks.append((scrape_task(n, url)))
await asyncio.wait(tasks)

if __name__ == '__main__':
t=time.perf_counter()
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(main())
t2 = time.perf_counter() - t
print(f'Total time taken: {t2:0.2f} seconds')


I made the below changes to limit the connections to 60

connector = aiohttp.TCPConnector(limit=60)
async with aiohttp.clientSession(connector) as session:


I can't figure out where I am going wrong.
