It defines events across multiple domains (learning, authoring, enterprise, content authoring) and handles event serialization using Avro, allowing services to emit and consume events through a shared event bus.\n\nThe library is not independently deployed but installed as a dependency within Open edX services (LMS, CMS, and custom extensions). It depends on Django, attrs, edx-opaque-keys, edx-ccx-keys, edx_django_utils, fastavro, and setuptools. Recent versions (11.2.0) add new event types like ROLE_ASSIGNMENT_CREATED and ROLE_ASSIGNMENT_DELETED, and improve support for complex nested types in event data structures.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are developing within or extending Open edX. This is the canonical event framework for Open edX services and is required for event-driven integrations. Install friction is low and maintenance is active. No security vulnerabilities are known. Not suitable for non-Open edX projects."},"id":"openedx-events","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/openedx-events","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/openedx-events.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/openedx-events/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-04-22","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"openedx-events","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Open edX events from the Hooks Extensions Framework"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":74197,"position":14862,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"11.2.0"}
