It takes a list of numbers (or multiple series) and outputs a formatted ASCII chart that fits within console width and height constraints.\n\nThe package handles chart scaling automatically, supports configuration options like custom height and axis offset, and can render multiple data series with different colors. It has no external dependencies beyond setuptools and works across different operating systems. It's designed for quick visualization of time-series data, metrics, or financial charts in command-line environments where graphical output isn't available.","worth_installing":"Yes. Low install friction, no external dependencies, permissive MIT license, active repository, and no known vulnerabilities make it a safe choice. Suitable for any project needing lightweight terminal-based charting. The 2020 release date is notable but the active repository status and continued downloads suggest it remains functional; verify compatibility with your target Python version before relying on it for production use."},"id":"asciichartpy","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/asciichartpy","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/asciichartpy.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/asciichartpy/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-08-17","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"asciichartpy","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Nice-looking lightweight console ASCII line charts \u256d\u2508\u256f with no dependencies"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":176810,"position":10233,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.5.25"}
