The standard library's atexit module registers functions to run at interpreter shutdown, but asyncio applications often need cleanup tied to the event loop's lifecycle instead\u2014for example, closing database connections or flushing buffers when a specific loop terminates. This package lets you register those handlers and have them called automatically.\n\nThe package accepts both async and sync functions, and they are invoked when loop.close() is called. It's a thin, focused tool: no dependencies, works with Python 3.6 and later, and integrates directly into asyncio's shutdown sequence. The main constraint is that cleanup only runs if your application explicitly closes the loop\u2014it won't trigger on implicit cleanup or if the loop is abandoned.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need event-loop-scoped cleanup in asyncio applications. Install friction is minimal and the license is permissive. The main caveat: the package has not been updated since 2022-04-26, so verify compatibility with your Python version and test that cleanup runs as expected in your specific event loop setup.
