The wrapper provides an object-oriented Python interface to make Triangle's functionality more accessible and easier to inspect and modify within Python workflows.\n\nThe package targets scientific and engineering applications, particularly finite element analysis where mesh quality is critical. It depends on numpy and is distributed as compiled wheels for Python 3.11\u20133.14 across macOS, Linux, and Windows. The project is in beta status with aging maintenance, but remains unarchived and has received no reported security vulnerabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need Delaunay triangulation or mesh generation for finite element analysis or computational geometry. The package is stable (beta status, no known vulnerabilities), supports current Python versions, and wraps a mature underlying library. Install friction is moderate due to compiled wheels. The copyleft LGPL 3.0 license requires attention if you plan to distribute derivative work. Maintenance is aging but the repository remains active."},"id":"cytriangle","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/cytriangle","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/cytriangle.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/cytriangle/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-01-22","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"cytriangle","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Object-oriented Cython wrapper of Shewchuk's Triangle Library"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":74192,"position":14863,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.0.2"}
