athreading 0.2.1 released

athreading is a Python library that allows you to run synchronous I/O functions asynchronously using asyncio via background threads. It provides decorators to adapt synchronous functions and generators, enabling them to operate without blocking the event loop.

In versions >=0.2.0, athreading adds support for both Python 3.9 nogil, and Python 3.13 with free threading enabled to utilize parallelism and multicore goodness when the python GIL is disabled.

See https://github.com/calgray/athreading and PyPI for installation.
