Hello! This program is awesome.
This change works towards #5 by replacing the GLib MainLoop that backs
task.py
withasyncio
's event loop. The interfaces are extremely similar and this removes a big dependency.I'm not sure what should be done about #5 after this given that quite a bit of whipper code uses the
Task
interface. Maybetask.py
andasyncsub.py
can just be merged intowhipper/common
and later refactored?I tested this by going through the drive setup process from scratch (
whipper drive analyze
andwhipper offset find
), ripping an album, then runningwhipper image verify
. I ensured progress calculation worked and no commands got stuck.
