It detects whether the terminal is a TTY and automatically disables colors when output is piped, and provides context managers for indentation and email-style quoting. The package includes a column printer that auto-detects console width, an iterator-based progress bar, and helpers for reading piped input and managing application configuration directories.\n\nThe package was last released on 2015-08-25 and is now abandoned; its repository is archived. It targets Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4, making it unsuitable for modern Python environments without significant testing and potential fixes. While it has no runtime dependencies, the lack of maintenance means bugs and compatibility issues are unlikely to be addressed.","worth_installing":"No. Clint is abandoned (last release 2015-08-25, repository archived) and targets obsolete Python versions. While it has no runtime dependencies and no known vulnerabilities, the lack of maintenance means it will not work reliably on modern Python without significant effort. For new projects, use maintained alternatives instead."},"id":"clint","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/clint","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/clint.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/clint/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2015-08-25","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"clint","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Python Command Line Interface Tools"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":341101,"position":7406,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.5.1"}
