It lets you build messaging applications\u2014brokers, clients, routers, bridges, proxies\u2014that speak the AMQP 1.0 protocol, making it straightforward to integrate with the broader AMQP ecosystem across different platforms and languages.\n\nThe package wraps Proton's C implementation via cffi, so installation involves compiled wheels for supported Python versions (3.9\u20133.12). The project is aging\u2014last released 452 days ago\u2014but has a long history dating to 2014. It carries no known security vulnerabilities and is licensed permissively under Apache Software License.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need AMQP 1.0 messaging in Python and are comfortable with aging but stable software. The permissive license and lack of vulnerabilities are strong points. Install friction is moderate (compiled wheels, cffi dependency), and the 452-day release gap suggests limited active development\u2014acceptable for a mature protocol library, but plan for slower issue resolution if problems arise."},"id":"python-qpid-proton","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-qpid-proton","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-qpid-proton.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/python-qpid-proton/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-05-19","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"python-qpid-proton","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"An AMQP based messaging library."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":148799,"position":11017,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.40.0"}
