It can be used as a Python library or invoked from the command line, making it suitable for both programmatic and operational workflows. The package depends on psutil for system monitoring, pyzmq for inter-process communication, and tornado for async I/O.\n\nThe package is marked Production/Stable and supports Python 3.7 through 3.13 across Linux, macOS, and Windows. The repository remains active and is not archived, though it carries an aging maintenance status.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. Kantoku is low-friction to install and permissively licensed. It is suitable if you need straightforward process supervision and monitoring. However, the aging maintenance status warrants checking whether the project meets your long-term support expectations before adopting it for new critical systems."},"id":"kantoku","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/kantoku","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/kantoku.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/kantoku/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-03-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"kantoku","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Circus is a program that will let you run and watch multiple processes and sockets."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":142804,"position":11200,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.18.3"}
