It wraps data originally compiled by @sindresorhus into a single Python package with both a programmatic API and a CLI. The API function `random_name()` accepts a type (cat, dog, superhero, or supervillain), optional gender filter for dogs, and a flag to return all names instead of a random one. The CLI provides commands for each category with similar options.\n\nThe package has no runtime dependencies and is simple to use for generating placeholder or test names. However, it has been abandoned since August 2015 and explicitly targets Python 2.7 and 3.3\u20133.4, making it unsuitable for modern Python environments without verification and likely modification.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last release 2015-08-23) and targets obsolete Python versions (2.7, 3.3\u20133.4). High install friction combined with no maintenance signal means compatibility with modern Python is unknown and likely broken. Unless you are maintaining legacy Python 2 code, choose an actively maintained alternative or implement name generation directly."},"id":"getname","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/getname","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/getname.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/getname/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2015-08-23","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"getname","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Get popular cat/dog/superhero/supervillain names"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":148742,"position":11019,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.1.1"}
