Review: python-asyncvarlink 0.3.2+git20260719.22da4e7-1

Package Information

DescriptionPython asyncio-compatible, type-driven varlink implementation

This is a pure Python implementation of the varlink IPC protocol based on asyncio. The main differences to the reference implementation are:

* Usage of asyncio instead of synchronous threading * Where the reference implementation parses a varlink interface description as a source of truth, this implementation derives a varlink interface description from a typed Python class to describe an interface. * Even though the varlink faq explicitly renders passing file descriptors out of scope, systemd uses it and it is an important feature also implemented here.

This package contains the Python 3.x module.
