It wraps an SSE endpoint URL and provides an iterator interface: each iteration yields a message object with a 'data' attribute and optional 'event', 'id', and 'retry' fields. The library handles automatic reconnection and retry logic, allowing the server to control retry delays via SSE protocol directives.\n\nThe package has no runtime dependencies and accepts any keyword arguments supported by the Requests library (headers, auth, etc.) during initialization. It is marked Production/Stable but aging: the latest release was 2020-09-25, and active maintenance has slowed. It is suitable for applications that need straightforward SSE consumption without frequent updates or cutting-edge feature additions.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need straightforward SSE consumption and can accept an aging codebase. The package is stable, has no dependencies, and carries permissive licensing. However, do not install if you require active maintenance, explicit modern Python version guarantees, or ongoing bug fixes\u2014consider alternatives if your project demands frequent updates."},"id":"sseclient","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sseclient","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sseclient.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/sseclient/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-09-25","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"sseclient","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Python client library for reading Server Sent Event streams."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":222339,"position":9266,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.0.27"}
