It allows developers to run arbitrary functions concurrently without managing the complexity of multiprocessing directly, making it easier to scale test cases from simple linear scripts to large, complex asynchronous test suites. The package is part of Cisco's pyATS ecosystem, an end-to-end testing platform designed for data-driven, reusable testing in Agile environments.\n\nThe package depends only on pyats.log at runtime and is actively maintained, with recent releases supporting modern Python versions (3.10 through 3.14). It is distributed as platform-specific wheels for macOS and Linux systems; Windows is not currently supported. Installation is straightforward via pip, either as part of the full pyats suite or as a standalone upgrade.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are already using pyATS or building test suites that need concurrent execution. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and offers a simpler abstraction over multiprocessing. Install friction is moderate due to platform-specific wheels and Python version requirements, but these are standard for compiled packages. Not relevant if you are not using pyATS or do not need asynchronous test execution."},"id":"pyats-async","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyats-async","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyats-async.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyats-async/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-07","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pyats.async","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"pyATS Async: Asynchronous Execution of Codes"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":295683,"position":7918,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"26.7"}
