asyncgnostic

Python functions agnostic towards being called with await or otherwise.

Uses multiple dispatch to automatically call asynchronous or synchronous function based on calling context.

Example:

import asyncio
from asyncgnostic import awaitable


def handler() -> str:
    return "Running Sync"


@awaitable(handler)
async def handler() -> str:
    return "Running Async"


def sync_main():
    print("sync context", handler())


async def async_main():
    print("async context:", await handler())


sync_main()
asyncio.run(async_main())

Output:

sync context Running Sync
async context: Running Async
