Don't work with multi threads and jupyter

[lucasccampos]

running Multicall in main thread works great, but running the function twice in another thread is going to throw an error

"RuntimeError: Timeout context manager should be used inside a task"

and when using Multicall with jupyter, u get this error

File ~/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/multicall/multicall.py:57, in Multicall.call(self)
55 def call(self) -> Dict[str,Any]:
56 start = time()
---> 57 response = await_awaitable(self.coroutine())
58 logger.debug(f"Multicall took {time() - start}s")
59 return response

File ~/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/multicall/utils.py:67, in await_awaitable(awaitable)
66 def await_awaitable(awaitable: Awaitable) -> Any:

611 """Run until the Future is done.

613 If the argument is a coroutine, it is wrapped in a Task.

621 self._check_closed()
--> 622 self._check_running()
624 new_task = not futures.isfuture(future)
625 future = tasks.ensure_future(future, loop=self)

File /usr/lib64/python3.10/asyncio/base_events.py:582, in BaseEventLoop._check_running(self)
580 def _check_running(self):
581 if self.is_running():

583 if events._get_running_loop() is not None:
584 raise RuntimeError(
585 'Cannot run the event loop while another loop is running')

RuntimeError: This event loop is already running

latest multicall works with jupyter if you install: https://github.com/erdewit/nest_asyncio

in the jupyter cell add:

import nest_asyncio
nest_asyncio.apply()

multithread issue is fixed if you use web3>=5.31.3

Jupyter issue is related to jupyter event loop and solution has been shared above. Closing.
