It allows you to define test scenarios that run asynchronously against target services, measure response times, and simulate load patterns. The tool is designed for Python 3.7+ and supports features like scenario definitions, session management, and distributed testing across multiple processes.\n\nThe package has not been actively maintained since October 2022. While it was marked as Production/Stable and supported Python 3.7 through 3.10, the lack of recent releases means it may not work smoothly with newer Python versions or current aiohttp releases without manual intervention. Users should verify compatibility with their target environment before relying on it for critical load testing.","worth_installing":"No. Molotov is abandoned (no releases since October 2022, 1393 days ago) and high install friction suggests unresolved dependencies or setup issues. While the license is permissive and there are no known vulnerabilities, the lack of maintenance means compatibility with current Python and aiohttp versions is uncertain. For active load testing, consider a maintained alternative."},"id":"molotov","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/molotov","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/molotov.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/molotov/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-10-21","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"molotov","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Spiffy load testing tool."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":268562,"position":8274,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.6"}
