It acts as a bridge between Robot Framework and libraries running elsewhere, enabling distributed test execution across different Python implementations (CPython, Jython, IronPython, PyPy).\n\nYou create a server by instantiating RobotRemoteServer with a library instance or module, configure it with a host and port (defaulting to 127.0.0.1 and 8270), and optionally write the port to a file or start it in a background thread. The server supports Robot Framework's static, hybrid, and dynamic library APIs, including keyword decorators for custom naming and tags. Main limitation: logging via robot.api.logger or Python's logging module is not currently supported.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need distributed test execution with Robot Framework and can accept dormant maintenance. The package is Production/Stable with no known vulnerabilities, zero runtime dependencies, and low install friction. However, verify that version 1.1.1 meets your Robot Framework version and Python version requirements before adopting, since the last release was 2022-12-23 and no active maintenance is evident."},"id":"robotremoteserver","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/robotremoteserver","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/robotremoteserver.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/robotremoteserver/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-12-23","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"robotremoteserver","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Robot Framework remote server implemented with Python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":84217,"position":14016,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.1.1"}
