Asyncio support

[iAnanich]

I'm using gspread as driver for storage for items from scrapy spiders. And there is many items from one job, so gspread takes a long time to write them all.

I think, that it can work faster if making requests in async. Can it be so?

You can provide your own [http session object] (https://gspread.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#gspread.Client) when initializing a gspread client, so in theory you can implement something wrapping e.g aiohttp so you execute your HTTP request async.

I don't know if this would have any advantage over just creating multiple gspread client instances though.

I've written an asyncio API for gspread that wraps the gspread client and adds a few more high-level features. If adding an async API is on the table for gspread I would be willing to open a PR if @burnash will give feedback on what needs to be done to get it merged, otherwise I can release it as its own package.

My gspread_asyncio library is now available on PyPI.
