Description

Maybe I'm stupid, but I don't understand how to call an async JS function from Python. For example:

eel.expose(test);
async function test() {
    console.log("Hello world!");
}

This does not work:

eel.test()

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how Eel calls exposed JavaScript functions and determine if async functions require special handling. Look at Eel's source code for function calling and test with a non async function to compare.
