It lets you define async functions as properties using @async_property (which returns an awaitable each time) or @async_cached_property (which caches the result after the first await). For classes with multiple cached async properties, you can subclass AwaitLoader to make instances awaitable, which will load all cached properties concurrently and optionally call an async load() hook first.\n\nThe package solves the problem of accessing remote data or expensive async operations through a clean property interface instead of explicit method calls. It uses asyncio.Lock internally to ensure cached functions are called only once even under concurrent access. With no runtime dependencies and support for Python 3.7 through 3.11, it integrates easily into existing async codebases.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is lightweight, actively maintained, has no dependencies, and solves a real problem in async Python code. The MIT license is permissive. Use it when you need async properties in your class design and want to avoid explicit method calls or manual caching logic."},"id":"async-property","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/async-property","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/async-property.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/async-property/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-07-03","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"async-property","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Python decorator for async properties."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":6032066,"position":1981,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2.2"}
