This is primarily useful for testing and mocking ASGI applications\u2014you can combine it with an ASGI-capable HTTP client to send test requests into an app that has been properly initialized through its lifespan protocol.\n\nThe package automatically detects whether you are running under asyncio or trio and handles the async context accordingly. It supports configurable startup and shutdown timeouts, exposes lifespan state for use in request handling, and raises clear exceptions if the application does not support the lifespan protocol or if timeouts occur. The single runtime dependency is sniffio, keeping installation friction minimal.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you test ASGI applications. It is a small, stable, permissive-licensed tool with low install friction and no known vulnerabilities. The long gap since the last release (2023-03-28) is a minor concern for new Python versions, but the repository remains active and the package is marked production/stable. Verify compatibility with your Python version before relying on it for new projects."},"id":"asgi-lifespan","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/asgi-lifespan","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/asgi-lifespan.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/asgi-lifespan/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-03-28","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"asgi-lifespan","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Programmatic startup/shutdown of ASGI apps."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":10518789,"position":1448,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.1.0"}
