It takes input containing terminal color codes and formatting directives and outputs the same text with all styling removed, leaving only the plain content. This is useful when you need to process or store output from colored terminal applications without the escape sequences.\n\nThe package has no external runtime dependencies and installs as a pure Python wheel. It was ported from a C codebase specifically to avoid compilation and binary distribution overhead. However, the project is no longer maintained\u2014the last release was in February 2023 with no updates since.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need straightforward ANSI-to-plain-text conversion and can tolerate an unmaintained package. The zero-dependency design and Production/Stable status make it low-risk for simple use cases. However, verify the dual-license terms apply to your project, and consider whether you need active maintenance or bug fixes for your use case."},"id":"ansi2txt","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ansi2txt","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ansi2txt.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/ansi2txt/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-02-23","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"ansi2txt","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"ansi to plain text converter"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":363989,"position":7212,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2.0"}
