Comment (by Andrew Godwin):
Regarding ASGI not being "official": Python core has made it reasonably
clear to me that they don't want to have a PEP for ASGI, and giving one to
WSGI was a bad idea in the first place. Thus, adoption is down to us just
doing it. Flask have also said they are going to attempt to support it, as
have Twisted.
The threads observation is an astute one, and I think worth calling out in
the deployment documentation explicitly.
The async_timeout dependency is only for the async test harness in
asgiref, and thus should never be imported under normal conditions.
The reason I have done this separately from the DEP is that it's not, in
my eyes, strictly a new "feature" - instead, it is adding compatibility
for a server-application protocol, and some last-resort async safety. Even
if we didn't implement ASGI, I would still argue that we definitely need
to make the ORM understand and protect itself from coroutine-based
connection corruption, and that would involve importing asyncio (and
probably asgiref for its helpful features in this area) anyway!
