{"categories":[{"label":"Utilities","url":"https://skillfed.io/packages/category/utilities/3"}],"enrichment":{"capability":"Provides date and time arithmetic operations, including range generation and business day calculations, built on top of python-dateutil's relativedelta.","skillfed_tags":["date-time","business-logic"],"use_cases":["Generate sequences of dates for scheduling or reporting tasks that span multiple days or weeks","Calculate business days between two dates for project timelines or SLA tracking","Perform complex date arithmetic without manually handling edge cases","Build date-based filtering or bucketing logic in data processing pipelines"],"what_it_does":"dateutils is a lightweight wrapper around python-dateutil that simplifies complex date and time arithmetic. It exposes relativedelta operations for adding or subtracting time intervals from dates, and adds higher-level features like generating date ranges and calculating business days. The package depends on python-dateutil, pytz, and argparse, making it a thin convenience layer for developers who frequently work with date math.\n\nBecause the package is abandoned (last commit 2021-06-04, last release 2020-10-23), it receives no active maintenance. While it has no known vulnerabilities and carries a permissive license, you should verify that its behavior aligns with your requirements and that it remains compatible with your Python and dependency versions before relying on it in production.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need straightforward date arithmetic and business day logic and are comfortable with an abandoned package. The low install friction and permissive license are favorable, and there are no known vulnerabilities. However, verify compatibility with your Python version and dependency stack, and consider whether you can rely on python-dateutil directly if maintenance becomes a concern."},"id":"dateutils","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/dateutils","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/dateutils.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/dateutils/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-10-23","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"dateutils","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Various utilities for working with date and datetime objects"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":2119040,"position":3280,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.6.12"}
