It provides a collection of helper functions and tools to simplify common dict operations\u2014the description calls it a \"swiss army knife\" for dict handling. The package supports optional extras for data loading and command-line usage, suggesting it can work with dict data from files and expose dict operations via CLI.\n\nThe package requires Python 3.10 or later and has no external runtime dependencies, making it lightweight to install. Maintenance is aging (last release 405 days ago), though the repository remains publicly available and has received recent commits. It is licensed under MIT, permitting unrestricted use.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you work frequently with dictionaries and want to reduce boilerplate. Low install friction, no dependencies, and permissive licensing make it a safe addition. However, the aging maintenance status (405 days since last release) and sparse documentation suggest checking whether the specific dict operations you need are actually provided before committing to it in a new project."},"id":"dictknife","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/dictknife","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/dictknife.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/dictknife/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-07-05","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"dictknife","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"utility set of handling dict"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":79528,"position":14350,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.14.2"}
