It parses the VCAP_SERVICES and VCAP_APPLICATION JSON structures that Cloud Foundry injects into deployed apps, exposing them through a simple object interface so you can retrieve your app's name, port, and bound service credentials without manual JSON parsing.\n\nThe package depends only on furl for URL manipulation and installs with low friction. However, it has been abandoned since early 2019 and is marked Pre-Alpha; it was never intended for production use. Its classifiers list support only up to Python 3.5, and there is no indication of ongoing maintenance or compatibility with modern Python versions or Cloud Foundry API changes.","worth_installing":"No, unless you are maintaining a legacy Cloud Foundry application that already uses this package. The project is abandoned (last commit 2019-01-23), classified as Pre-Alpha, and has not been tested against modern Python versions. If you are starting a new Cloud Foundry project, investigate current Cloud Foundry Python tooling or parse VCAP_SERVICES directly; if you must use this, pin it and test thoroughly in your environment."},"id":"cfenv","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/cfenv","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/cfenv.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/cfenv/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2017-06-09","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"cfenv","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Python wrapper for Cloud Foundry environments"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":96642,"position":13202,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.5.3"}
