It has no runtime dependencies and can be used either as a Python library via the `compress()` function or as a command-line utility.\n\nThe package passes all original YUI Compressor unit tests, making it a faithful implementation of that algorithm. However, it is no longer actively maintained\u2014the last release was 2017-11-26 and the repository shows no commits since 2023-08-07. It remains in production-stable status but receives no updates for modern CSS features or security issues.","worth_installing":"No, unless you have a specific requirement for the YUI CSS Compressor algorithm or an existing dependency on this exact package. The project is abandoned (last release 2017-11-26, no commits since 2023-08-07), has high install friction (source-only), and the maintenance status is abandoned.
