On Python 3.7+, it is simply a pass-through to the built-in contextvars module, which already has full asyncio integration.\n\nThe package works by monkey-patching asyncio's event loop and task creation to attach and propagate copied contexts. It requires importing the module before creating any event loops or tasks to ensure the patches are applied. On older Python versions, it provides a workaround for the lack of native context parameter support in call_soon() and Task creation, though the implementation differs from Python 3.7's native approach.","worth_installing":"No, unless you are maintaining legacy code on Python 3.5 or 3.6 that requires contextvars asyncio support. The package is abandoned (last release 2019, last commit 2022) and unnecessary on Python 3.7+. Modern Python versions have built-in contextvars with full asyncio support; use the standard library instead."},"id":"aiocontextvars","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aiocontextvars","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aiocontextvars.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/aiocontextvars/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2019-04-08","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"aiocontextvars","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Asyncio support for PEP-567 contextvars backport."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":446231,"position":6613,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2.2"}
