How can I wrap a synchronous function in an async coroutine?

Question

I\'m using aiohttp to build an API server that sends TCP requests off to a seperate server. The module that sends the TCP requests is synchronous and a black box for my purposes

Not sure if too late but you can also use a decorator to do your function in a thread. ALTHOUGH, note that it will still be non-coop blocking unlike async which is co-op blocking.

def wrap(func):
    from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor
    pool=ThreadPoolExecutor()
    @wraps(func)
    async def run(*args, loop=None, executor=None, **kwargs):
        if loop is None:
            loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
        future=pool.submit(func, *args, **kwargs)
        return asyncio.wrap_future(future)
    return run
