run_sync_in_worker_thread async

Runs a sync function in a new worker thread so that the main thread's event loop is not blocked

Unlike the anyio function, this defaults to a cancellable thread and does not allow passing arguments to the anyio function so users can pass kwargs to their function.

Note that cancellation of threads will not result in interrupted computation, the thread may continue running — the outcome will just be ignored.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
__fn	Callable[..., T]	The function to run in a worker thread	required
*args	Any	Positional arguments to pass to the function	()
**kwargs	Any	Keyword arguments to pass to the function	{}

Returns:

Type	Description
T	The result of the function
