It lets you register custom check functions that verify dependencies are running and return pass/fail results with diagnostic messages. The library also provides an EnvironmentDump class that exposes metadata about the operating system, Python environment, running process, and application config\u2014with built-in scrubbing to avoid leaking secrets.\n\nThe package is designed for integration with external monitoring tools. It includes in-process caching (27 seconds for successes, 9 seconds for failures by default) to reduce load on backend services when monitoring systems poll the endpoint frequently. Check functions are simple callables that return a tuple of (bool, str) indicating pass/fail and a message.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last release 2020-05-20) and receives no maintenance or security updates. While it has low install friction and no dependencies, the lack of active maintenance poses a risk for compatibility with current framework versions and leaves any issues unresolved. For new projects, choose an actively maintained healthcheck library; for existing deployments, evaluate whether you can migrate or maintain a fork."},"id":"py-healthcheck","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/py-healthcheck","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/py-healthcheck.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/py-healthcheck/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-05-20","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"py-healthcheck","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Adds healthcheck endpoints to Flask or Tornado apps"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":234678,"position":9019,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.10.1"}
