def wrap_sync_to_async_unsafe(func) -> Callable:
"""Wrap a callable in a coroutine that executes the callable directly.
This helper makes it easier to use synchronous callables with ASGI
apps. However, it is considered "unsafe" because it calls the wrapped
function directly in the same thread as the asyncio loop. Generally, you
should use :func:`~.wrap_sync_to_async` instead.
Warning:
This helper is only to be used for functions that do not perform any
blocking I/O or lengthy CPU-bound operations, since the entire async
loop will be blocked while the wrapped function is executed.
For a safer, non-blocking alternative that runs the function in a
thread pool executor, use :func:`~.sync_to_async` instead.
Arguments:
func (callable): Function, method, or other callable to wrap
Returns:
function: An awaitable coroutine function that wraps the
synchronous callable.

"""Wrap a callable in a coroutine that executes the callable in the background.
This helper makes it easier to call functions that can not be

library that does not yet support asyncio).
To execute blocking operations safely, without stalling the async
loop, the wrapped callable is scheduled to run in the background, on a
separate thread, when the wrapper is called.
Normally, the default executor for the running loop is used to schedule the
synchronous callable. If the callable is not thread-safe, it can be
scheduled serially in a global single-threaded executor.
Warning:
Wrapping a synchronous function safely adds a fair amount of overhead
to the function call, and should only be used when a native async
library is not available for the operation you wish to perform.
Arguments:
func (callable): Function, method, or other callable to wrap
