This is a legacy tool whose primary value is historical: it was useful when Python 2.6, 2.7, and early 3.x versions were still in active use, but those versions are now end-of-life and the package itself has not been maintained since 2019-10-14.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned, unmaintained since 2019-10-14, and its own documentation recommends against using it in favor of direct conditional dependency syntax. Modern Python versions have enum built-in, and Python 2.x is end-of-life. If you are supporting legacy Python, use conditional dependencies directly in your project's requirements rather than this shim."},"id":"enum-compat","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/enum-compat","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/enum-compat.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/enum-compat/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2019-10-14","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"enum-compat","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"enum/enum34 compatibility package"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":7856661,"position":1686,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.0.3"}
