[QGIS-Developer] asyncio in plugins?

[Sebastian M. Ernst]

Hi David,

I suspected this much. In theory, I can move the event loop into a
separate thread [1, 2] - this should allow QGIS' event loop to continue
running and accepting input etc. I am *guessing* that this can be made
work. Question: Has someone around here actually tried it before?

Best regards,
Sebastian
