It provides decorators for caching async and sync functions, a metaclass for lazy-initialized properties in test classes, wrappers around shell commands with async support, structured JSON logging for ELK-style systems, a Prometheus metrics server, and backup helpers for S3 and Google Cloud. The package depends on pyyaml and typing-extensions and is designed for Python 3.8+.\n\nThe toolkit is most useful for teams running internal testing infrastructure or operational scripts that need consistent patterns across projects. Its testing helpers (PropsMeta, ApiUrls, caching decorators) reduce boilerplate in test suites, while its Unix and logging modules simplify shell integration and observability. However, the package is dormant\u2014last updated 680 days ago\u2014so it may not receive updates for compatibility with newer Python or dependency versions.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are maintaining internal testing infrastructure or operational scripts that benefit from its specific patterns (lazy initialization, shell wrappers, structured logging). No, if you need active maintenance or expect compatibility updates\u2014the package is dormant and may not adapt to future Python or dependency changes. The low install friction and permissive license make it low-risk to try, but plan for potential maintenance burden if the project evolves."},"id":"fan-tools","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/fan-tools","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/fan-tools.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/fan-tools/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-10-03","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"fan-tools","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Various python stuff: testing, aio helpers, etc"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":179778,"position":10164,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"4.4.0"}
