One of my original hopes for Libdex was to help us structure complex asynchronous code in the GNOME platform. If my work creating Foundry and Sysprof are any indicator, it has done leaps and bounds for my productivity and quality in that regard.

Always in the back of my mind I hoped we could make those futures integrate with language runtimes.

This morning I finally got around to learning enough of Python’s asyncio module to write the extremely minimal glue code. Here is a commit that implements integration as a PyGObject introspection override. It will automatically load when you from gi.repository import Dex .

This only integrates with the asyncio side of things so your application is still responsible for integrating asyncio and GMainContext or else nothing will be pumping the DexScheduler . But that is application toolkit specific so I must leave that to you.

I would absolutely love it if someone could work on the same level of integration for GJS as I have even less experience with that platform.
