It provides command-line utilities and helpers for developers working with F\u00b4 projects, including tools for code generation, testing, and project scaffolding. The package depends on common Python tools like pytest for testing, cookiecutter for templating, Markdown for documentation processing, and request libraries for HTTP operations.\n\nDevelopers use fprime-tools as part of their F\u00b4 development workflow, either installing from PyPI or from a development branch for active feature work. The package supports modern Python versions (3.9\u20133.12) and is designed for Unix/POSIX environments. It integrates with standard development practices like code formatting (Black) and test coverage analysis (gcovr).","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are developing with the F\u00b4 flight software framework. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, carries a permissive Apache 2.0 license, and installs with low friction. It is production-stable and widely used in the embedded systems and aerospace software community. Install it as part of your F\u00b4 project setup; there is no reason to avoid it."},"id":"fprime-tools","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/fprime-tools","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/fprime-tools.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/fprime-tools/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-04-14","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"fprime-tools","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"F Prime Flight Software tooling, helpers and core data types"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":86956,"position":13823,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"4.2.1"}
