minimalistic asyncio on synchronous functions that do not support it

sync_to_async.py

import asyncio


def static_hi(this):
    """this function is not asynchronous"""
    return this


async def printer():
    """notice arguments are not passed directly"""
    return await asyncio.to_thread(static_hi, this="haha")


async def main() -> None:
    r = await asyncio.gather(printer())
    print(r)

asyncio.run(main())
