Instead of writing separate if/else branches with duplicated code\u2014one branch with the context manager and one without\u2014you pass a boolean condition and the context manager to conditional, and it handles the logic.\n\nThe package supports both synchronous and asynchronous context managers, includes full type annotations for IDE and type-checker support, and has no external dependencies. It is stable (Development Status 5), actively maintained, and suitable for any code path where you want to conditionally apply resource management, signal handling, or other context-dependent setup without code duplication.","worth_installing":"Yes. This is a stable, actively maintained, zero-dependency utility that solves a genuine code-organization problem. If you write context managers and find yourself duplicating code blocks to conditionally apply them, conditional eliminates that duplication cleanly. The permissive license and type annotations add no friction."},"id":"conditional","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/conditional","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/conditional.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/conditional/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-04","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"conditional","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Conditionally enter a context manager"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":233637,"position":9036,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.2"}
