Great! One less dependency

Looks like mock.AsyncMock is gated by Python 3.8.

I'm considering if we should just gate the Async code to 3.8 in that case, since it's still in "Preview".

@sai-sunder-s @arithmetic1728 @BigTailWolf thoughts?

Do we currently have any from unittest.mock import AsyncMock in any test?
I searched across ed the repo and didn't see one of them.

❯ rg "AsyncMock" -l

Hi! 👋

We are currently (finally) removing the python-mock package on Arch Linux.
I am therefore very interested in this getting merged and released. Are there still specific blockers?

Are there any updates? It'd be great to get this updated and merged!
