def asyncify(function: Callable[T_ParamSpec, T_Retval]) -> Callable[T_ParamSpec, Awaitable[T_Retval]]:
    """
    Take a blocking function and create an async one that receives the same
    positional and keyword arguments.

    Usage:

    ```python
    def blocking_func(arg1, arg2, kwarg1=None):
        # blocking code
        return result


    result = asyncify(blocking_function)(arg1, arg2, kwarg1=value1)
    ```

    ## Arguments

    `function`: a blocking regular callable (e.g. a function)

    ## Return

    An async function that takes the same positional and keyword arguments as the
    original one, that when called runs the same original function in a thread worker
    and returns the result.
