python3 async

[shaligg]

Hello Google APIs Team,

I'm working with the Python client library for Google APIs (google-api-python-client) and have a question about asynchronous support:

Current Availability: Is there an official asynchronous version of the client library available? I've noticed that the execute() method performs synchronous blocking calls, which can create performance bottlenecks in high-concurrency applications.
Future Roadmap: Are there any plans to introduce native asynchronous support (e.g., async/await syntax or gRPC-based implementations) in upcoming releases? This would be particularly beneficial for:
Microservices architectures
Real-time data pipelines
Serverless environments with strict cold-start requirements
Context:
While the community has developed async wrappers (e.g., using aiohttp or trio), official support would ensure:

Better long-term maintenance
Deeper integration with Google's authentication systems
Compatibility with future API changes
Use Case Example:

python

Current synchronous pattern

response = service.purchases().subscriptionsv2().get(
packageName="com.example.app",
token="purchase_token"
).execute() # Blocks event loop

Desired async pattern

async def get_subscription():
return await service.async_purchases().subscriptionsv2().aget(
packageName="com.example.app",
token="purchase_token"
)
Thank you for considering this feature request. Official asynchronous support would significantly improve performance for latency-sensitive applications using Google APIs.
