It provides a library API and command-line tools to interact with Consul's core features: registering and deregistering services, managing the distributed key-value store, querying health status, and acquiring distributed locks. The library exposes these operations through a clean Python interface (e.g., `consul.kv['key'] = value`) and CLI commands for operational tasks like backing up and restoring the KV database.\n\nThe package has no runtime dependencies and installs with low friction. However, it has been abandoned since 2015-07-22 and was originally built for Python 2.6\u20133.4. Compatibility with modern Python versions and current Consul API versions is uncertain. It remains in beta status and is suitable only for legacy systems or environments where Consul version compatibility is known and tested.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last release 2015-07-22, no recent commits), targets Python 2.6\u20133.4, and its compatibility with modern Python and current Consul versions is unverified. For new projects, use a maintained alternative. Only consider it for legacy systems where it has been tested and is known to work."},"id":"consulate","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/consulate","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/consulate.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/consulate/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2015-07-22","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"consulate","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A Client library for the Consul"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":123593,"position":11905,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.6.0"}
