On macOS >= 10.9, the App Nap feature automatically reduces CPU and I/O for backgrounded applications to save power, which can cause performance problems for long-running tasks. appnope wraps the native NSProcessInfo API using ctypes to temporarily disable App Nap around critical code sections.\n\nThe package provides three ways to control App Nap: a simple toggle function to disable it globally, a function to re-enable it, and a context manager for scoped disabling. It has no external dependencies and installs as a pure Python wheel, making it trivial to add to any macOS-based project that needs predictable performance during intensive operations.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you develop or run Python applications on macOS that perform long-running or performance-sensitive tasks. The package is actively maintained, has no dependencies, and solves a real macOS-specific problem. Not relevant for non-macOS environments."},"id":"appnope","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/appnope","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/appnope.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/appnope/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-02-06","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"appnope","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Disable App Nap on macOS >= 10.9"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":9808896,"position":1500,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.1.4"}
