Summary

The Twilio Python Helper Library, which has no asynchronous version, poses a problem for developers using asynchronous web servers with their Python applications. To safely integrate Twilio and similar clients into async applications, developers can use four different solutions: sending raw HTTP requests, monkey-patching, using a thread executor, or utilizing the greenletio package. Each solution has its own approach to handling blocking functions in an asynchronous environment, allowing developers to choose the best fit for their specific needs.
