It enables you to serialize Python objects into Avro's binary format and deserialize them back, making it useful for data interchange between systems, RPC communication, and storage. The package has no runtime dependencies beyond Python itself.\n\nHowever, this package is abandoned and has not been updated since March 2021. The maintainers explicitly recommend using the maintained 'avro' package instead, which has full support for recent Python versions. Installing avro-python3 requires building from source (high install friction), and you will receive no further updates or security patches.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last release March 2021, 1976 days ago) and explicitly deprecated in favor of the maintained 'avro' package. High install friction (source distribution) combined with no ongoing maintenance makes it unsuitable for new projects. Install 'avro' instead unless you have a specific legacy integration requirement."},"id":"avro-python3","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/avro-python3","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/avro-python3.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/avro-python3/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-03-17","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"avro-python3","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Avro is a serialization and RPC framework."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":11855901,"position":1356,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.10.2"}
