No unit tests for aio module

[krister-ts]

The aio module was not added to the unit tests. As it is now, both FTD2XX classes inherit from the same base class. I don't think this is too important until the aio module is substantially different.

I think we should keep this issue open as a reminder until the right PR comes along.

@snmishra Do you want to create a milestone to change the aio module to make use of the asyncio.Transport and asyncio.Protocol like pyserial-asyncio? I think that would be the time to make serious tests for aio.

UPDATE: I am working on making the asyncio.Transport!!

@snmishra

So I finally started using asyncio.Protocol at work for TCP connections using proprietary binary protocol. I've made a transport by copying from pyserial-asyncio and hacking it up a bit. It works. I just need to figure out what I've bypassed and what the equivalents for d2xx should be.

Don't be surprised if you get a PR soon. In the meantime, could you look at licensing? I don't know much about that sort of thing... Is it as simple as crediting the pyserial team for most of the code?

[snmishra]

@krister-ts Sounds good. Looks like pyserial-asyncio is a BSD 3 Clause license. It should be compatible with MIT License. I'm no expert on licensing either. Anote crediting pyserial-asyncio project and reference to their license should be good enough.

@snmishra Would it make sense to make this a new project? This is what pyserial-asyncio does. I hope that no one is relying on the aio module yet since it is experimental.

[krister-ts]

@snmishra Maybe you could make an organization (on the free plan) called ftd2xx to keep both projects under the same umbrella?

Moved mine.

Moved mine.

I don't have permission to transfer mine yet

Added you as a member, hope that works.
