Duplication of code for synchronous and asynchronous implementations

When implementing classes that have uses in both synchronous and asynchronous applications, I find myself maintaining virtually identical code for both use cases.

Just as an example, consider:

from time import sleep
import asyncio


class UselessExample:
    def __init__(self, delay):
        self.delay = delay

    async def a_ticker(self, to):
        for i in range(to):
            yield i
            await asyncio.sleep(self.delay)

    def ticker(self, to):
        for i in range(to):
            yield i
            sleep(self.delay)


def func(ue):
    for value in ue.ticker(5):
        print(value)


async def a_func(ue):
    async for value in ue.a_ticker(5):
        print(value)


def main():
    ue = UselessExample(1)
    func(ue)
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    loop.run_until_complete(a_func(ue))


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

In this example, it's not too bad, the ticker methods of UselessExample are easy to maintain in tandem, but you can imagine that exception handling and more complicated functionality can quickly grow a method and make it more of an issue, even though both methods can remain virtually identical (only replacing certain elements with their asynchronous counterparts).

Assuming there's no substantial difference that makes it worth having both fully implemented, what is the best (and most Pythonic) way of maintaining a class like this and avoiding needless duplication?
