It works both as a command-line utility (piping CSS through `cssmin`) and as a Python library (calling `cssmin.cssmin()` on a CSS string). The package has no runtime dependencies.\n\nHowever, the package is abandoned: the latest release is from October 2013, and the repository shows no commits since December 2022. This means it receives no maintenance, bug fixes, or updates for modern CSS features or Python versions. Using it in new projects carries risk of incompatibility and unaddressed security or correctness issues.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last release 2013, no maintenance since 2022), has an unclear license, and high install friction. Modern CSS minifiers (integrated into webpack, esbuild, PostCSS, or other active build tools) are better maintained, faster, and handle contemporary CSS features. Install only if you are maintaining legacy code that already depends on it."},"id":"cssmin","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/cssmin","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/cssmin.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/cssmin/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2013-10-14","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"cssmin","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A Python port of the YUI CSS compression algorithm."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":153956,"position":10865,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2.0"}
