No — this is a shared library component designed to be pulled in as a transitive dependency by key-value-aio or key-value-sync, not installed directly. Install it only if you are actively developing one of those downstream packages or have a specific reason to depend on its shared utilities. The alpha status and 270-day release gap suggest limited active development.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later; designed primarily as a dependency for other packages rather than direct end-user use.
- Low install friction with only two runtime dependencies (typing-extensions and beartype).
- Package is in alpha status and has not received updates in 270 days, suggesting it may be stable but not actively maintained.

What it is and what it does
py-key-value-shared is a utility library that extracts and centralizes shared code between two related key-value storage packages (key-value-aio and key-value-sync). It is not intended for direct end-user consumption but rather as an internal dependency to reduce code duplication across those sibling packages. The package depends on typing-extensions for enhanced type hints and beartype for runtime type checking, and it supports Python 3.10 through 3.13.
Because this is a shared library component, you would typically encounter it as a transitive dependency when installing key-value-aio or key-value-sync, rather than installing it directly. Its value lies in keeping the two related packages DRY and maintainable by centralizing common logic and type definitions.
Use it for
- Installed automatically as a dependency when using key-value-aio or key-value-sync packages.
- Provides shared type definitions and utilities to both async and sync key-value storage implementations.
- Reduces code duplication and maintenance burden across related key-value storage libraries.
