It provides the core operations needed to convert between raw data and human-readable, error-detecting address strings.\n\nThe package requires Python 3.9 or later and has no external runtime dependencies, making it lightweight and easy to integrate. It is classified as production-stable but has been abandoned since mid-2023, meaning no new features or bug fixes are planned. Use it when you need a straightforward, dependency-free implementation of these encoding standards for existing applications, but be aware you cannot rely on upstream maintenance.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need a simple, dependency-free Bech32/Bech32m codec and can accept that the package will not receive updates. The implementation is stable and well-suited to production use for encoding and decoding, but do not install if you expect ongoing maintenance or compatibility updates as blockchain standards evolve."},"id":"bech32m","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/bech32m","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/bech32m.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/bech32m/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-06-14","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"bech32m","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Encoding/decoding Bech32 and Bech32m"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":171376,"position":10370,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.0"}
