Greetings,

I’m very happy to announce that the first stable version 23.20.0 of my svcs 
(read: services) package is up on PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/svcs/

I have spent the past months trial-and-erroring, talking to everybody who 
wouldn't run away, and writing docs. So many docs.

I’ve put that effort into it because I find it life-changing for writing web 
applications and I REALLY want y’all understand WHY.

When talking to people, two patterns repeated themselves:

1. The average company has 3.5 half-baked implementations of svcs.
2. People either get very excited or very indifferent.

The pattern it implements is called a service locator, but in most cases it’s 
just a convenient abstraction for plucking runtime-dependencies (correctly: 
SERVICES) from request objects + lifecycle features like instantiation/cleanups 
+ introspection + better testability.

While implementing it, I've also noticed how incredibly muddy and overloaded 
the vernacular around these topics is (c.f. “services”), so I've spent at least 
as much time writing a glossary as I've spent writing code: 
https://svcs.hynek.me/en/latest/glossary.html

It comes with integration for AIOHTTP, FastAPI, Flask, Pyramid, and Starlette 
and it’s very easy to integrate with others.

As you’d expect from a modern Python package, it has (optional) first-class 
support for static typing as well as asyncio.

It’s been a very long time since I got this excited about a project of mine, 
but that excitement comes with anxiety and endless obsessing to the point that 
my friends started ghosting me which I take for the signal that it's time.

So if this has piqued your interest, here are more details:
