It provides methods to read and write key-value pairs, query service catalogs, manage health checks, and handle ACL operations. The library uses requests for HTTP communication and six for Python 2/3 compatibility.\n\nThe package was forked from an earlier python-consul project to address maintenance gaps and add support for newer Consul features. It exposes Consul's API through a simple object-oriented interface, allowing developers to integrate service discovery and distributed configuration into Python applications without making raw HTTP calls.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last commit 2022-02-16, no updates for over 2 years) and unlikely to receive security patches or compatibility fixes. While it has low install friction and a permissive license, the lack of maintenance makes it risky for production use. Consider an actively maintained Consul client library instead."},"id":"python-consul2","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-consul2","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-consul2.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/python-consul2/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-10-20","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"python-consul2","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Python client for Consul (http://www.consul.io/)"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":110644,"position":12449,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.1.5"}
