It depends on typing_extensions and supports Python 3.10 through 3.14. The package is actively maintained with recent releases and integrates with modern Python environments.\n\nThe package is designed to work in testing contexts where developers need to verify complex objects and output against approved snapshots. It operates by comparing current test results against golden-master files, launching diff tools when results diverge to help developers review and approve changes.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need snapshot-based testing utilities. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive Apache-2.0 license, and supports current Python versions (3.10 through 3.14). There are no known security vulnerabilities."},"id":"approval-utilities","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/approval-utilities","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/approval-utilities.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/approval-utilities/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-02","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"approval-utilities","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Utilities for your production code that work well with approvaltests"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":157901,"position":10743,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"19.1.1"}
