Async Client?

[Ali-Parandeh]

Hey guys, Thanks a lot for building this Python client. Just wondering if you have an async client baked in to the SDK? I normally can't use non-async clients since my whole API is async and it'll block the server

Use httpx or aiohttp package for sending HTTP requests to your server instead of requests package.

import json
import aiohttp
from .encoder import Encoder


class Client:
    def __init__(self, config): ...
    async def _request(self, method, endpoint, payload=None):
         url = f"{self.base_url}{endpoint}"
        async with aiohttp.ClientSession(timeout=aiohttp.ClientTimeout(total=self.timeout)) as session:
             async with session.request(
               method,
               url,
               data=json.dumps(payload, cls=Encoder) if payload is not None else None
        ) as response:
            response.raise_for_status()
            return await response.json()

    async def get(self, endpoint):
        return await self._request("GET", endpoint)

    async def post(self, endpoint, payload=None):
        return await self._request("POST", endpoint, payload)

    async def put(self, endpoint, payload=None):
        return await self._request("PUT", endpoint, payload)

    async def delete(self, endpoint, payload=None):
        return await self._request("DELETE", endpoint, payload)

Hey @Ali-Parandeh,

thanks a lot for your request and for contributing an example implement. As you noticed, we don't have built-in async support, unfortunately.

As a work-around, two ideas come to mind:

1. Can you monkey-patch the initializer of the Push class to use your async client?
2. Can you run the requests that update data in Userlist on a background queue, like Celery?
