Thank you very much for your answer.
Unfortunately, I can't make all callbacks synchronous or asynchronous because this has negative effects on the application in one way or another.

I also came across the asyncio methods yesterday, 
Whoa, what can I say, I haven't really understood yet.
My first impression is that either the whole library works asynchronously or not.
Still too many Bohemian villages (not sure if this is also common in English - it should say there are too many things I don't understand).

But as I said, thank you very much for the time and your thoughts you have given about my problem, very much appreciated.
