Support async session via aiohttp #46

Closed AikoChou closed 2 years ago

AikoChou commented 2 years ago

mwapi lacks support for asynchronous frameworks. At WMF ML team, we're building the Lift Wing platform based on kserve for serving the machine learning models. However, we encounter high latency when calling the mwapi in kserve with blocking codes.

We would like to add support for asynchronous functionality in mwapi using the async/await syntax and the asynchronous HTTP client/server aiohttp.

Bug: T313493

Could you include an example usage of the async pattern in the README.md file? Otherwise, this looks great to me.

Looks great. Thanks for your work.
