It handles common tasks like listing files by type, managing multi-threaded operations, and wrapping progress bar display through its single external dependency, tqdm. The package is designed to be lightweight and is classified as Production/Stable, supporting Python 3.10 through 3.14.\n\nDevelopers typically use audeer to avoid writing or importing scattered utility functions across projects. Its main value is consolidation\u2014reducing boilerplate for file operations, threading patterns, and progress feedback in scripts and applications that don't warrant a full framework dependency.","worth_installing":"Yes. audeer is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, carries a permissive MIT license, and adds only one lightweight dependency. It is worth installing if your project needs file utilities, threading helpers, or progress bar integration and you prefer a single consolidated import over scattered utility functions."},"id":"audeer","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/audeer","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/audeer.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/audeer/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-04","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"audeer","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Helpful Python functions"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":94654,"position":13318,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.5.0"}
