It uses a scoring system to identify the most likely content container, then cleans and returns readable HTML or text.\n\nThe package provides both a command-line interface and a Python API. It depends on docopt for CLI argument parsing, chardet for character encoding detection, and lxml for HTML parsing. The library is maintained and actively used in production tools. It supports Python 2.6 through 3.6 and offers options for debugging parse decisions, opening results in a browser, or returning full documents instead of fragments.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, installs with low friction, and solves a well-defined problem. It is suitable for production use if you need reliable HTML-to-readable-content extraction. The BSD license poses no restrictions. Install only if you can satisfy the lxml build dependency; otherwise, consider it a straightforward choice."},"id":"breadability","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/breadability","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/breadability.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/breadability/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-12","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"breadability","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Port of Readability HTML parser in Python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":100652,"position":12978,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.1.21"}
