It was originally designed to serialize operations across multiple application instances without explicit distributed locking infrastructure.\n\nAs of version 2.1.0, this package is deprecated and serves only as a compatibility shim. Its functionality has been consolidated into django-pgware, which provides the same advisory_lock and async_advisory_lock exports under a different import path. The package will not receive further updates; it exists only to ease migration for existing users.","worth_installing":"No. This package is deprecated and explicitly directs users to django-pgware. Install django-pgware directly instead.
