It depends on six and was released once in July 2020 with a Development Status :: 1 - Planning classifier, suggesting it was never intended to be production-ready. The library appears designed to provide utility functions for working with English text, though the specific capabilities are not detailed in available documentation.\n\nThe package is classified as abandoned\u2014no commits have been made since its single release over four years ago. While it carries a permissive Apache 2.0 license and installs with low friction, the lack of maintenance, absence of maturity signals, and unclear API surface make it a risky choice for new projects. It may serve as a reference implementation or for legacy codebases already depending on it, but new code should seek actively maintained alternatives.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned, never progressed beyond planning status, and offers no clear API documentation. While it installs easily and carries a permissive license, the lack of maintenance since 2020, zero stars, and absence of known vulnerabilities do not offset the risk of adopting unmaintained code. Use only if you are maintaining legacy code that already depends on it; for new projects, seek an actively maintained English language utility library."},"id":"english","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/english","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/english.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/english/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-07-17","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"english","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"English language utility library for Python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":251421,"position":8583,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2020.7.0"}
