It wraps a WSGI app to run as ASGI (using a thread pool of up to 10 threads by default) or wraps an ASGI app to run as WSGI (with optional timeout for background tasks). The core design avoids accumulating request or response content in memory, streaming data instead\u2014a difference from converters in uvicorn, startlette, or hypercorn that may buffer entire payloads.\n\nThe package is pure Python, depends only on typing_extensions at runtime, and requires Python 3.8 or later. It exposes the original WSGI environ or ASGI scope through special keys, allowing applications to access protocol-level details when needed. Typical use is migrating legacy WSGI projects to ASGI frameworks or deploying ASGI apps in WSGI-only hosting environments.","worth_installing":"Yes. a2wsgi solves a real problem\u2014bidirectional WSGI/ASGI conversion without memory buffering\u2014with low install friction, active maintenance, no known vulnerabilities, and a permissive license.
