Instead of manually creating event loops, scheduling tasks, setting up signal handlers, and orchestrating graceful shutdown, you pass a coroutine to aiorun.run() and it handles the rest\u2014creating the loop, running forever, catching SIGINT and SIGTERM, cancelling pending tasks, and closing cleanly.\n\nThe package is designed for servers and daemon-like applications that should keep running until explicitly stopped. Unlike the standard library's asyncio.run(), which exits when the coroutine completes, aiorun.run() runs indefinitely unless you call loop.stop() or an unhandled exception occurs (if stop_on_unhandled_errors=True is set). It automatically gathers and cancels all pending tasks during shutdown, waits for executor jobs to finish, and closes the event loop.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building asyncio-based servers or long-lived applications. The package eliminates common shutdown-sequence bugs and is actively maintained with zero known vulnerabilities. Install friction is minimal (no dependencies, pure Python). The only caveat: read the documentation carefully\u2014aiorun.run() behaves differently from asyncio.run() (runs forever by default), which can surprise developers expecting standard library semantics."},"id":"aiorun","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aiorun","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aiorun.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/aiorun/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-01-27","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"aiorun","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Boilerplate for asyncio applications"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":312982,"position":7721,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2025.1.1"}
