The library in question is "devlib", which abstracts over SSH/adb/local shell.
We cannot make a "full" switch to async as it would be a big breaking change.
To workaround that, I came up with a decorator that wraps a corountine, and
"replaces" it such that:
@asyncf
async def f(...):
...
# Blocking call under its "normal" name, for backward compat
f()
# Used in an async environment
await f.asyn()
This allows converting bit by bit the whole library, with full backward
compatibility for both users and internal calls.
On top of that, that library is heavily used in jupyter notebooks, so all in
all, nest-asyncio is impossible to avoid.
