AI interpretation — verify before relying

AI-generated interpretation of the package facts above; every digit, version, license, or vulnerability id it cites is grounded in the facts already shown on this page

Provides Python 3.8–3.10 with asyncio.Runner, a context manager that simplifies running multiple async functions in the same event loop context, matching Python 3.11's standard library implementation.

Zero runtime dependencies and a pure-wheel distribution keep installation friction minimal. The package is aging (407 days since last release), but the repository remains active with a recent commit on 2025-07-02 and no archived status.

Licensed under PSF-2.0 (Python Software Foundation License), a permissive license that poses no restrictions on commercial or private use.

import sys
if sys.version_info < (3, 11):
    from backports.asyncio.runner import Runner
else:
    from asyncio import Runner

async def echo(msg: str) -> None:
    print(f"Hello {msg}")

with Runner() as runner:
    runner.run(echo("World"))

Verdict: A stable, dependency-free backport of Python 3.11's asyncio.Runner for older Python versions, with no known vulnerabilities. The aging maintenance status (407 days since release) is expected for a reference implementation backport; the package remains production-ready for its narrow, well-defined scope.

Needs verification

• Whether the slight performance degradation from using _PyTask instead of _CTask is acceptable for your use case.
• Compatibility with event loop implementations other than asyncio and uvloop.
