🚀 Feature: Async Client for Python

[ms7m]

🔖 Feature description

An async client for the python-sdk.

🎤 Pitch

I'm planning to move over a couple of applications I maintain to Appwrite, and while in the process of moving I noticed the python-sdk client is non-asynchronous. Mainly due to requests being used as the http client.

A little bit of background: The applications I maintain are mostly FastAPI-based and they recommend any I/O based libraries to be asynchronous for better performance..

---

I've already got a p.o.c fork and opened a PR #453 which passes all tests. This is a very initial version and I definitely make some time to optimize it further, but I think it's a good starting point.

There are a number of changes.

• Breaking: Moving from requests to httpx. Httpx is mostly requests-compatible as well contains both a sync and async client.

  • I removed requests to keep the dependency count low, but I can understand if certain people are unable to install.. Maybe we can publish a spealized version of the sdk with async support? e.g: pip install appwrite[async]?

• Async Client and functions is available under appwrite.aio and any I/O related functions must be called with await.

There is a lot of room to further optimize, such as maybe using AnyIO for users who use Trio instead of asyncio.
