It is designed for applications that need to spawn and manage external processes from within async code without blocking the event loop.\n\nThe package has no runtime dependencies and works with Python 3.8 through 3.11 on both CPython and PyPy. It is actively maintained and used by JupyterHub's jupyter-server-proxy to manage proxy processes. The low install friction and permissive BSD license make it straightforward to integrate into projects that need lightweight async process supervision.","worth_installing":"Yes. Low install friction, no dependencies, active maintenance, and a permissive license make this a safe choice for any async Python project that needs to spawn and manage child processes. The narrow scope and stable API reduce risk; use it if you need async process lifecycle control."},"id":"simpervisor","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/simpervisor","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/simpervisor.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/simpervisor/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-05-18","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"simpervisor","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Simple async process supervisor"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":643642,"position":5605,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.0"}
