It manages a Twisted reactor in a background thread, exposing decorators like `@wait_for` and `@run_in_reactor` that let blocking code call into Twisted and wait for results. The package handles reactor startup, shutdown, and integration with Python's standard logging framework automatically.\n\nYou use it when you need Twisted's networking or concurrency capabilities inside a blocking framework (Django, Flask, WSGI), when porting blocking code to Twisted incrementally, or when a library needs to expose a blocking API while using Twisted internally. It also supports decorating async/await Twisted functions. The main dependencies are Twisted itself and wrapt for function wrapping.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to use Twisted from blocking code. The package is stable, well-maintained in its dormant state (no active bugs, no vulnerabilities), has low install friction, and solves a real integration problem. The 1140-day gap since the last release reflects that the library \"just works\" rather than abandonment\u2014monthly downloads remain substantial. Not necessary if you're already writing pure Twisted or pure synchronous code."},"id":"crochet","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/crochet","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/crochet.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/crochet/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-07-01","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"crochet","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Use Twisted anywhere!"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":397417,"position":6960,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.1.1"}
