development notes:

How we handle asynchronous actions

We use the Trio guest mode instead of relying on threads because those are hard to manage. Running two loops (Gtk and Trio) has disadvantages but overall, it offers a very clear way of organising and executing asynchronous operations.

In practice, this means you need to arrange the following:

Wire up your usual hook (self.drop_box.connect("drag-data-received", self.on_drop))
In your hook function, call your asynchronous function via the self.nursery.start_soon API
Define your asynchronous function with async def and use the await keyword as usual

operations:

github mirror:

Add the following to the bottom of your .git/config.

[remote "all"]
  url = ssh://gitea@vvvvvvaria.org:12345/rra/dropship.git
  url = git@github.com:decentral1se/dropship.git

The git push -u all main will setup git push to automatically push to both remotes.

make a release:

git tag 0.0.1dev$whatever && git push

The Travis CI configuration will run a build and publish binaries here.
