It wraps Boost 1.90.0 using the cmeel (CMake Wheel) packaging system, allowing Python projects to depend on Boost without requiring local compilation. The package provides platform-specific wheels for modern Python versions (3.10+) across macOS and Linux architectures.\n\nThis is primarily useful for Python packages that include C++ extensions or native code needing Boost libraries. Rather than requiring users to install Boost system-wide or compile it themselves, this package delivers pre-built binaries as a Python dependency. It depends on cmeel and numpy at runtime.","worth_installing":"Yes, if your Python project includes C++ extensions or native code requiring Boost libraries. The pre-built wheels eliminate compilation friction and provide consistent binaries across platforms. However, verify that the license treatment ('unclear') aligns with your use case, and confirm which Boost components are included match your actual needs."},"id":"cmeel-boost","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/cmeel-boost","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/cmeel-boost.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/cmeel-boost/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-20","license_spdx":"BSL-1.0","license_treatment":"unclear","name":"cmeel-boost","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"cmeel distribution for boost, which provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1051911,"position":4441,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.90.0"}
