[New-bugs-announce] [issue44306] asyncio.from_thread

[Thomas Grainger]

New submission from Thomas Grainger <tagrain at gmail.com>:

create a asyncio.from_thread shortcut to run async functions from a thread started with asyncio.to_thread


```
def from_thread(async_func, /, *args, **kwargs):
    """Synchronously run function *async_func* in the event loop thread.

    Any *args and **kwargs supplied for this function are directly passed
    to *func*. Also, the current :class:`contextvars.Context` is propogated,
    allowing context variables from the main thread to be accessed in the
    separate thread.

    Return a concurrent.futures.Future to wait for the result from the event
    loop thread.
```
