Yes, I did, but they are too complicated to use. I'd like something for 
humans, such as
asynchronizer = InThreadExecutor()
result = await asynchronizer.run(myfunc, myargs, mykwargs)
and I almost implemented that borrowing code from asyncsqlite (doves fly 
slowly, electric mail is even slower :)), but...

yes, that became a problem.
So, I revoke my question. Went out to redesign the whole approach.
Thanks for reply!
Axy.
