> Maybe the real issue with Twisted/asyncio is that it requires that all your code is "asyncio-ready".

I don't think this is true. It's easy enough to ask for something that isn't "asyncio-ready" to run in a real thread. Give it a function call. It will run it in a thread, and give you a Future for when it's done. See https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-eventloop.html#exe... for details.

Sure, it's a pain because you don't get the benefit that asyncio gives you for that part of code, but isn't at all an "all or nothing" proposition.
