"""Proof of concept of an adapter that will wrap a blocking IO library in
greenlets, so that it can be invoked by asyncio code and itself make calls out
to an asyncio database library.

hint:  any Python ORM or database abstraction tool written against the DBAPI
could in theory allow asyncio round trips to a pure async DB driver like
asyncpg.

The approach here seems too simple to be true and I did not expect it to
collapse down to something this minimal, so it is very possible I am totally

"""A plain asyncio program that uses asyncpg to run some rows into a table and
select them.

This is a "control" program which we will compare to the one which uses calls

This is a cross post of something I just posted on the Python bug tracker at https://bugs.python.org/msg373145.

I seem to have two cents to offer so here it is. An obscure issue in the Python bug tracker is probably not the right place for this so consider this as an early draft of something that maybe I'll talk about more elsewhere.

> This basically divides code into two islands - async and non-async

"""This is a simpler version of the greenlet

Instead of the "await" keyword, we use the "await_()" function to interact with
the greenlet context. the greenlet context itself is 23 lines of code right
here.

Convert any binary to PNG

This walk through comes from @GalacticFurball who tweeted two images representing the youtube_dl source code as of 2020-09-20. They mentioned later in the thread that they struggled converting the gzip-compressed tarball of the source code with Imagemagick to a PNG, so they ended up using a 3rd party website to do the work. This Gist will show you how to do it cleanly and exactly.

Instructions

If you would like to convert any non-image binary into PNG, Imagemagick makes this trivial. I will be executing the commands on a Debian Linux system, so you may need to adjust the commands for BSD, macOS, or Windows as necessary.

A half-hour to learn Zig

This is inspired by https://fasterthanli.me/blog/2020/a-half-hour-to-learn-rust/

Basics

the command zig run my_code.zig will compile and immediately run your Zig program. Each of these cells contains a zig program that you can try to run (some of them contain compile-time errors that you can comment out to play with)
