[Bf-committers] Using wheels in blender addons

[Isaac Weaver]

It looks like you're using a threading executor to run each call to
requests. I thought that threading wasn't supported in blender[1], or does
that only apply to threading code that effects bpy.data?

What I'm doing currently is using asyncio.open_connection and building a
raw http request. But that seems too low level to be practical.
