It provides shared helper functions and utilities that other earthkit packages depend on, reducing code duplication across the ecosystem. The package is marked as Graduated under ECMWF's Software Maturity guidelines, indicating it has reached a stable, production-ready state.\n\nThe package depends on array-api-compat and pint, suggesting it handles array operations and physical unit conversions\u2014common tasks in scientific computing. It supports modern Python versions (3.10 through 3.14) and runs on both CPython and PyPy. The low installation friction and active maintenance make it a straightforward addition to projects that use other earthkit components.","worth_installing":"Yes\u2014if you are using other earthkit packages or building Earth science applications. The package is production-stable, actively maintained, permissively licensed, and has low installation friction. Install it as a dependency of other earthkit tools or when you need the shared utilities it provides; standalone use is unclear from the fact sheet."},"id":"earthkit-utils","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/earthkit-utils","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/earthkit-utils.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/earthkit-utils/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-29","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"earthkit-utils","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Utilities for the Earthkit ecosystem"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":76202,"position":14646,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.2"}
