It provides pub/sub, distributed storage, and query capabilities designed to work efficiently across edge, fog, and cloud environments with minimal overhead. The package is built as a compiled extension (Rust via maturin), so installation depends on either downloading a pre-built wheel for your platform or having a Rust toolchain available to build from source.\n\nThe library unifies three traditionally separate concerns\u2014messages in motion, data at rest, and distributed computation\u2014into a single coherent API. It is actively maintained, supports Python 3.8 through 3.12, and runs on Linux (multiple architectures), macOS, and Windows. No runtime Python dependencies are required once installed.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need a unified pub/sub and distributed storage system and can work with Beta-stage software. The active maintenance, current Python version support, platform coverage via pre-built wheels, and zero runtime dependencies make it practical for edge and distributed applications. Verify the dual license (Apache 2.0 / EPL-2.0) terms for your use case first, and confirm your platform has a pre-built wheel to avoid needing a Rust build environment."},"id":"eclipse-zenoh","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/eclipse-zenoh","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/eclipse-zenoh.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/eclipse-zenoh/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-14","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"eclipse-zenoh","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"The Zenoh Python API"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":434429,"position":6691,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.10.0"}
