It's typically used in WSGI applications to populate context in the middleware layer, then accessed by logging and other modules downstream.\n\nThe library uses thread-local (or async-context-aware) storage to keep request data isolated between concurrent requests. It's designed as a utility for larger OpenStack-based systems but can be used standalone in any Python application that needs to track request metadata across function call boundaries.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you're building a WSGI application that needs to propagate request metadata (IDs, user info) across your codebase without explicit parameter passing. Low install friction, active maintenance, no known vulnerabilities, and permissive licensing make it a safe choice. Not necessary for simple scripts or applications that don't need request-scoped context."},"id":"oslo-context","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/oslo-context","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/oslo-context.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/oslo-context/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-10","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"oslo.context","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Oslo Context library"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":988879,"position":4568,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"6.5.0"}
