It works on macOS, Linux, Windows, and similar POSIX-like platforms. The function returns a list of library paths, with the first element typically representing the process itself (often an empty string) and the remainder being the loaded shared objects.\n\nThe package is straightforward: it has no runtime dependencies and installs as a pure Python wheel. However, the repository is now archived and abandoned, and the fact sheet notes that equivalent functionality is available in Python's standard library starting in version 3.14. For new code targeting Python 3.14 or later, the standard library version would be preferable; for older Python versions that need this capability, dllist remains functional but unmaintained.","worth_installing":"No. While the package is functional and has no security vulnerabilities, it is abandoned and unmaintained. For Python 3.14+, use the standard library instead. For older Python versions, the minimal utility may be useful for one-off inspection tasks, but relying on an unmaintained package for production code is not advisable."},"id":"dllist","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/dllist","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/dllist.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/dllist/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-02-10","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"dllist","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"List the shared libraries loaded by the current process."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":149057,"position":11005,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.0.0"}
