It provides blocking operations for connecting to Valkey servers in either standalone or cluster mode, supporting key-value commands, pub/sub messaging with dynamic subscription management, and automatic failover. The package is maintained by the Valkey organization and backed by AWS and GCP.\n\nThe sync variant is designed for applications that prefer or require blocking I/O rather than async patterns. It depends on cffi, protobuf, and typing-extensions. Installation uses precompiled wheels for Python versions 3.10\u20133.14 on Linux (x86_64, aarch64) and macOS (Intel, Apple Silicon), with medium install friction. The package is actively maintained and carries no known security vulnerabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes. Valkey GLIDE Sync is the official, actively maintained synchronous client for Valkey/Redis OSS with no known vulnerabilities, permissive Apache-2.0 licensing, and broad platform support. Choose it if you need blocking I/O, cluster awareness, or official Valkey backing. Medium install friction is acceptable given precompiled wheels and active maintenance."},"id":"valkey-glide-sync","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/valkey-glide-sync","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/valkey-glide-sync.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/valkey-glide-sync/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-10","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"valkey-glide-sync","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Valkey GLIDE Sync client.
