Installation

pip install that-depends

Ecosystem

that-depends is part of the modern-python family. If you're starting a new project, consider modern-di, the newer DI framework from the same author, with separate framework adapters:

• modern-di: core DI framework with scopes
• modern-di-fastapi, modern-di-litestar, modern-di-faststream, modern-di-typer, modern-di-pytest

that-depends remains actively maintained. See the migration guide if you want to move existing projects across.
