It wraps HTTP communication with the server using aiohttp for async I/O, allowing you to programmatically interact with a running Owntone instance from Python code.\n\nThe package is in Beta status and has been abandoned since late 2022, with no updates or maintenance since then. It carries a permissive MIT license and has minimal dependencies, making it lightweight to install. However, its lack of active maintenance means you should verify compatibility with your target Owntone version before relying on it in production.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need a lightweight async Python client for an Owntone server and can verify it works with your server version. The low install friction and permissive license make it a reasonable choice for personal or experimental use. However, the abandoned status and lack of maintenance since 2022 mean you should not rely on it for critical production systems without first testing thoroughly and being prepared to fork or patch it yourself."},"id":"pyforked-daapd","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyforked-daapd","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyforked-daapd.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyforked-daapd/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-09-16","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pyforked-daapd","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Python Interface for forked-daapd"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":74545,"position":14819,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.1.14"}
