The classifiers claim support only through Python 3.8, and actual compatibility with later versions is unknown. The GPL-3 copyleft license also restricts use in proprietary or differently licensed projects.","worth_installing":"No, unless you are maintaining legacy code already using it. The package is abandoned with no recent maintenance, unverified compatibility with modern Python versions, and a copyleft GPL-3 license that may conflict with your project.
