+""" Asyncio patches for Typer
+
+There's a thread open on the typer repo about this:
+    https://github.com/tiangolo/typer/issues/88
+
+Essentially, Typer doesn't support async functions. This is an issue
+post migration to async, @csheppard points out that there's a work
+around using a decorator on the click repository:
+https://github.com/tiangolo/typer/issues/88#issuecomment-612687289
+
+@gilcu2 posted a similar solution on the typer repo:
+https://github.com/tiangolo/typer/issues/88#issuecomment-1732469681
+
+this particular one uses asyncer to run the async function in a thread
+we're going in with this with the hope that the official solution is
+closer to this than a decorator per command.
