Rather than simple module-level globals, it allows variables to be associated with calling stacks and can incorporate external dictionaries into the lookup process. The package was designed to give developers a way to manage contextual state that varies depending on where code is called from.\n\nThe package has been abandoned since its single release on 2007-08-06 and receives no maintenance. It carries high install friction due to platform-specific binary distributions and offers no documented Python version support. Modern alternatives have superseded this approach.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last release 2007-08-06, no maintenance for 6948 days), carries GPL copyleft restrictions, has high install friction with platform-specific binaries, and offers no specified Python version support. Install only if maintaining legacy code that already depends on it."},"id":"environ","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/environ","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/environ.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/environ/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2007-08-06","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"environ","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Stack Based Globals Management"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":167678,"position":10464,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0"}
