It takes a dict-based representation of a tree (where keys are node labels and values are child dicts) and renders it using box-drawing characters and indentation.\n\nThe package provides a simple interface: instantiate a layout class like LeftAligned, then call it with your tree dict to get a formatted string. It has no runtime dependencies and is straightforward to integrate into scripts or CLI tools that need to display hierarchical data. However, the project has been dormant since 2016-09-05 with no specified Python version support, making it a legacy tool best suited for maintenance of existing code rather than new projects.","worth_installing":"No, unless you are maintaining legacy code already using it. The package is dormant (last release 2016-09-05), has no specified Python version support, and high install friction. For new projects, consider actively maintained alternatives. The permissive MIT license poses no legal barrier, but the maintenance gap and age make it a poor choice for new development."},"id":"asciitree","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/asciitree","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/asciitree.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/asciitree/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2016-09-05","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"asciitree","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Draws ASCII trees."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":976487,"position":4593,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.3.3"}
