Please don't make this API async. It's 99% local computation. I am right now struggling with trying to use it from django; it hangs when served with gunicorn, not when served with the development server

Could you open an issue on https://github.com/spruceid/didkit-python so we can see if something can be done on DIDKit's side?

I got to the bottom of it, the problem was gunicorn. To run an asynchronous app one apparently uses asgi and guvicorn. Problem went away. On May 23, 2024, at 13:20, Simon Bihel ***@***.***> wrote: Please don't make this API async. It's 99% local computation.
