Lifespan

Does daphne currently (or plan to) support the lifespan protocol? We are working on ASGI support for Sanic and looking to make sure that it includes this feature.

Hi @ahopkins. Sorry for the slow reply. (Life.)

First off, super! I had thought Sanic was more or less -1 on ASGI, so good to hear!

Then, no not currently, but yes definitely. Would happily take a PR 🙂 Failing that it'll be shortly.

Glad to hear this. Would love to submit a PR, but need to find the time for it. (Life.) If I can, I will.

OK, let's do this. Thanks for the report @ahopkins!

It's been three years. Is there an update?

@andrewgodwin Is Daphne still being actively developed? I only see one very minor commit in the past ~1.5 years. I thought that Daphne was supposed to be the reference implementation for ASGI, is this no longer the case?

I'm relying on lifespan events n my project, a pure ASGI app, not a framework. Without support for lifespan in Daphne my project doesn't work against the reference.

Is this going to change or would I be better off skipping ASGI and using Twisted?
