lia-web
This package has been renamed to cross-web. Install cross-web instead.
What it is and what it does
lia-web is a renamed package that now exists only as a compatibility layer. The original lia-web has been renamed to cross-web, and this package depends on cross-web to re-export its symbols under the lia namespace. It is intended only for existing code that has not yet migrated to the new name; the package is inactive and receives no updates.
For any new project, you should install cross-web directly and import from cross_web instead. The lia-web package will not receive further development and is maintained only to avoid breaking existing imports during a transition period.
Use it for:
- Maintaining legacy code that imports from lia without immediately updating all import statements to cross_web.
- Gradual migration of a large codebase from lia-web to cross-web by installing both packages temporarily.
- Ensuring CI/CD pipelines do not break during a package rename transition before all imports are updated.
Worth the install?
AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
lia-web is a deprecated shim package that re-exports cross-web under the lia namespace for backwards compatibility; new users should install cross-web directly instead.
No, not for new projects. lia-web is inactive and exists only as a deprecated redirect to cross-web. Install cross-web directly instead. Use lia-web only if you are maintaining legacy code that has not yet migrated to the new package name, and plan to remove it as soon as imports are updated.

Before you install
Low install friction, but the package is marked inactive (Development Status 7) and has not been updated in 232 days. It exists only as a compatibility bridge to cross-web and should not be used for new projects.
License in practice
Licensed under MIT (permissive), so there are no licensing restrictions on use or redistribution.
Quickstart
# Install (not recommended for new projects)
pip install lia-web
# Old import (still works via re-export)
from lia import Response
# Recommended: use cross-web directly instead
pip install cross-web
from cross_web import Response
Requires Python >= 3.9; however, new code should use cross-web directly rather than lia-web.
Verify before relying
- Whether cross-web itself is actively maintained and suitable for new development.
- Whether the backwards-compatibility re-export in lia-web is complete or if some symbols from cross-web are missing.
