The package automatically attempts to use isal (Intel's faster compression library) if available, falling back to zlib-ng otherwise.\n\nYou install it, call enable_zlib_ng() once at startup, and aiohttp automatically uses the faster compression for all subsequent connections. The package requires aiohttp and zlib-ng as runtime dependencies, both widely available. However, the project is archived and has not been maintained for over 781 days, which means it may not work with newer aiohttp releases or Python versions beyond those it was last tested against.","worth_installing":"No\u2014the package is abandoned (last commit 2024-07-30, no releases for 781 days) and classified as Pre-Alpha, making it unsuitable for production use. While the concept is sound and install friction is low, the lack of maintenance means it will likely break with future aiohttp updates. Consider using aiohttp's built-in compression tuning or evaluating maintained alternatives before adopting this package."},"id":"aiohttp-zlib-ng","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aiohttp-zlib-ng","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aiohttp-zlib-ng.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/aiohttp-zlib-ng/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-06-24","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"aiohttp-zlib-ng","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Enable zlib_ng on aiohttp"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":83260,"position":14086,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.3.2"}
