picodi 0.36.2

Simple Dependency Injection for Python

Picodi - Python DI (Dependency Injection) Library

Documentation

Picodi simplifies Dependency Injection (DI) for Python applications. DI is a design pattern that allows objects to receive their dependencies from an external source rather than creating them internally. This library supports both synchronous and asynchronous contexts, and offers features like lifecycle management.

#   client will be reused for all requests. This is important for connection
#   pooling and performance. Because it's created on app startup,
#   it will allow to pass asynchronous `get_nasa_client` into synchronous functions.
# And closing all inited dependencies after the function execution.
