support async request sdk

[wangxin688]

now python sdk is only support sync way, is there any plan to add async with httpx or aiohttp client?
or I don't not if you will aceept PR/MR for community?

@wangxin688 I'm assigning this to @zapodeanu as the Cisco lead.

@wangxin688 This is an interesting ask. We need to investigate this, to see the implications on the Cisco DNA Center Platform.

@zapodeanu if you're open to auto-generating the Python SDK, you can get async out-of-the-box. www.buildwithfern.com

At this time there is no support for httpx or aiohttp clients. I am not sure how many workflow automations would have a real performance improvement from them.

why cant you use a thread pool executor? it is safe to use with the requests pkg

import concurrent.futures
from typing import List, Mapping
from dnacentersdk import api

client = api.DNACenterAPI(
    username="username",
    password="password",
    base_url="url",
    version="2.3.3.0",
    verify=False,
    single_request_timeout=60,
)
with concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=10) as executor:
    device_uuids = ["wefwewefwef", "efw", "fwefwwefweefw", "fwefwefwefwfwef"]
    futures = []
    results: List[Mapping] = list()
    for uuid in device_uuids:
        futures.append(
            executor.submit(
                client.devices.get_device_by_id,
                id=uuid,
            )
        )
    for future in concurrent.futures.as_completed(futures):
        results.append(future.result())
