i think it would make sense to use asyncio because python’s stock debugger doesn’t handle threads and processes well, and the workload is limited to 24/(person? maybe when i posted under another email address the ratelimiter caught a google header showing it was the same owner. i could test this for rationality)/day 1349 1354 whoooo! i th— anyway it seems you could just make a basic asyncio app, and then throw it into systemd or such if desired. data pumps could be queue objects. >
