1. How do I run I/O blocking code that’s not a coroutine ?

Any code that is blocking and not a coroutine could run in a separate thread.

It’s not recommended, but it looks like this:

import asyncio
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_in_executor(None, your_callable, your_callable_args)
# Important: do not close/stop the loop
