python-client-shutdown-lifecycle

What problem does it solve?

It provides a standardized approach to gracefully shutting down Python SDK clients, preventing resource leaks and ensuring ordered teardown.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Orderly Resource Release: Coordinates shutdown of background tasks, in-flight requests, sessions, and executors in reverse order of acquisition.
• Robust Idempotency & Safety: Implements _closed flags with locks to handle multiple shutdown calls safely and cancels ongoing operations without leaks.
• Flexible Lifecycle Management: Facilitates usage with async with, aclose(), and AsyncExitStack to compose multiple clients seamlessly.
• Use Case: Ideal for SDK developers managing resource-heavy clients that need to ensure leak-free shutdown in async environments.

Quick Start

Instantiate your SDK client with async with, then use await client.aclose() for manual shutdown to guarantee resources are released properly.
