Description

I don't see any documentation regarding asynchronous behavior in the mako documentation. I would guess that the compilation of templates to python code would have a lot of blocking calls, but besides that would there be any other big problems trying to use it in a framework like..FastAPI?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Mako documentation and the template-to-Python compilation behavior described in the issue, then compare the question with FastAPI's asynchronous usage model. Done means documenting whether Mako is usable in asynchronous environments, which blocking concerns apply, and any relevant limitations.
