According to its summary, it acts as a connector to several databases, though the fact sheet does not specify which ones or how the connection logic is implemented. The package requires Python 3 or later and carries no runtime dependencies, suggesting it may be a lightweight wrapper or re-exporter of other database libraries.\n\nThe package is dormant: its last release was 2024-10-15, but the repository shows no commits since 2025-01-07 and has zero GitHub stars. Installation friction is flagged as high, which may indicate build complications or unresolved dependency issues during setup. The MIT license is permissive, but the lack of active maintenance and sparse documentation (no docs URL provided) make it difficult to assess whether the package is production-ready or abandoned.","worth_installing":"No. The package is dormant with no commits for months, zero community engagement (0 stars), high install friction, and a vague description that does not clarify what databases it supports or how it works. The lack of documentation and active maintenance makes it unsuitable for production use. Consider a more actively maintained database abstraction library instead."},"id":"dbstream","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/dbstream","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/dbstream.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/dbstream/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-10-15","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"dbstream","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A meta package to be connected to several databases"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":178176,"position":10200,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.1.28"}
