This is because tornado 5.0 deliberately removed
ioloop.IOLoop.initialized() because "It is no longer possible to provide
this method with reasonable semantics":
https://github.com/tornadoweb/tornado/commit/426b3812b9dd21ae0bac19d4146c6952816c7bfe#diff-1d4144f0ef561b7c18c7fe438816e1f5
This bug probably doesn't affect pyzmq 17 (since
https://github.com/zeromq/pyzmq/commit/f24a264094c6aae2587279c052fcbe242dd9d157#diff-079289d3903c2adcc75b3beb3458a2cf
), but I don't know whether upgrading Debian's pyzmq to that would break
anything else.
Another option is to remove this assert() (zmq/eventloop/ioloop.py:210)
or move it inside a tornado_version check.
It is likely that both Python 2 and 3 are affected, but I have not tried
to verify this. At least Jupyter/ipykernel (via
python3-jupyter-client), sagemath, circus and salt-{master,minion}
Depend: on both python(3)-tornado and python(3)-zmq, but I have only
tested the first.
