aiohttp-wsgi
WSGI adapter for aiohttp.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes-with-conditions. The package is permissive-licensed, has low install friction, and solves a real problem for teams wanting to run WSGI apps on aiohttp. However, it is abandoned (last release 2022-02-20) and untested against newer Python versions or recent aiohttp releases. Install only if you are confident the current version works with your target environment, or if you are willing to fork and maintain it yourself.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires aiohttp as a runtime dependency; no other known blockers, though compatibility with Python versions beyond 3.10 is unverified given the package's abandoned status.
- Low install friction with a single runtime dependency (aiohttp).
- However, the package is abandoned—last release was 2022-02-20, over 1636 days ago.

What it is and what it does
aiohttp-wsgi is a bridge that lets you run traditional WSGI applications (Django, Flask, etc.) inside an aiohttp async web server. Instead of running your WSGI app in a separate process or thread pool, it adapts the WSGI interface to work with aiohttp's async event loop, allowing you to handle many concurrent connections more efficiently and add websocket endpoints to an otherwise synchronous web framework.
The package is small and stable, designed to be a thin adapter layer rather than a full rewrite. It depends only on aiohttp and works across Python 3.6–3.10. However, it has been abandoned since February 2022 with no updates since then, so compatibility with newer Python versions or recent aiohttp releases is not guaranteed.
Use it for
- Migrate a Django or Flask app to async without rewriting it, running it on aiohttp's event loop
- Add websocket endpoints to an existing WSGI application using aiohttp's websocket support
- Handle many concurrent client connections by leveraging asyncio instead of threading
- Gradually transition a synchronous web framework toward async by running it under aiohttp

Before you install
Low install friction with a single runtime dependency (aiohttp). However, the package is abandoned—last release was 2022-02-20, over 1636 days ago. While marked stable and actively used in production when maintained, no updates have been made to address potential compatibility issues with newer Python or aiohttp versions.
Requires aiohttp as a runtime dependency; no other known blockers, though compatibility with Python versions beyond 3.10 is unverified given the package's abandoned status.
