Note that I don't think lines like the following will work:

let a = await some_promise(...)

Once we switch to Python 3.5, there is equivalent support for async/await there:

It looks like it should work if the last line of the bld.bat is changed to:

%LIBRARY_BIN%\node.exe deps\npm\bin\npm-cli.js install npm -gf

from:

%LIBRARY_BIN%\node.exe deps\npm\cli.js install npm -gf

You can use it as a decorator, or you can also use it to call something threadsafe inline, e.g.:

gtk_threadsafe(my_function)(arg1, arg2, kwarg1='something')

Here's an example decorator using a self argument:
