Thanks for raising this. However, all code in the _sync directory is automatically generated. Changes to _sync/ must originate from _async/ changes.

(to avoid the code rewriting, you can also extract to the _utils module in the root of the package)

Sorry for you to run into this. I should probably get around to writing a contribution guide that explains all of this soon 😅

Oof that's probably why when I use the requirements.txt to point to my git repo my changes are not being reflected and I was wondering WTF... because this is the second one I am doing patch work for my weekend project https://github.com/jath03/openrgb-python/pull/72 was the first and it seemed to work.

coverage: 77.477%. remained the same when pulling cdb20ba1208724698329cab8181eeeb8d799929a on trajano:patch-1 into de90e941e50a8d7e5ff60cba60d299043d3353fa on spyoungtech:main.

BTW if _sync is generated why is the source present in the repo?

[spyoungtech]

It perhaps doesn't have to be committed, and I've gone back and forth on whether it should be or not, but ultimately it made it easier for linting tools, mypy, sphinx/readthedocs, etc. to all work correctly and allows someone to see the source online like, say, if they're investigating a stacktrace that points to a line in the _sync code.

I yield. I am not familiar with Python enough to convert what I have to an async def when there's no await in the body.
