It handles the low-level protocol for bidirectional communication between bot services and clients, typically over WebSocket connections, and integrates with botbuilder-schema and botframework-connector to form the transport layer of a bot application.\n\nThe package is positioned as a stable, production-ready component within the broader Bot Framework Python suite. However, its repository is now archived and abandoned, meaning no new features or bug fixes are being developed. It remains available for existing projects that depend on it, but teams building new bots should verify whether the entire Bot Framework Python ecosystem is still the right choice for their use case.","worth_installing":"Yes, but with caution. The package has low install friction and no known vulnerabilities, and it remains in production/stable status. However, the archived repository and abandoned maintenance status mean no future updates or support. Install only if you are maintaining an existing bot that already depends on it, or if you have thoroughly verified that the entire Bot Framework Python ecosystem meets your current needs and you accept the risk of no upstream maintenance."},"id":"botframework-streaming","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/botframework-streaming","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/botframework-streaming.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/botframework-streaming/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-01-05","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"botframework-streaming","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Microsoft Bot Framework Bot Builder"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1261380,"position":4148,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"4.17.1"}
