FWIW: > The concerns I have with "get_awaitable" are [snip] I agree with you. > I've changed the suggestion function name to "call_async" I disagree. "async" is an extremely overloaded term with no unambiguous meaning (but possible misinterpretations), especially now that Python 3.5 has an "async" keyword (or quasi-keyword? I don't remember :-)). "call_in_executor" I think was fine. "call_in_thread" would be as well (and would mimick Twisted's own callInThread).

I agree with you.

I disagree. "async" is an extremely overloaded term with no unambiguous meaning (but possible misinterpretations), especially now that Python 3.5 has an "async" keyword (or quasi-keyword? I don't remember :-)).

"call_in_executor" I think was fine. "call_in_thread" would be as well (and would mimick Twisted's own callInThread).
