As of June 18, 2018, it stopped installing any service-specific dependencies and is no longer maintained for new development. The package has zero runtime dependencies and serves no functional purpose beyond historical compatibility.\n\nIf you encounter this package in an existing codebase, it is a signal to migrate to product-specific packages like google-cloud-storage, google-cloud-bigquery, google-cloud-pubsub, or others depending on which GCP services your application needs. The deprecation is explicit in the package metadata and description.","worth_installing":"No. This package is deprecated, unmaintained since 2018, and explicitly warns that it will not install dependencies. Do not install it for new projects. If you encounter it in existing code, replace it with the specific google-cloud-* packages your application actually needs (e.g., google-cloud-storage, google-cloud-bigquery)."},"id":"google-cloud","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/google-cloud","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/google-cloud.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/google-cloud/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2018-07-30","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"google-cloud","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"API Client library for Google Cloud"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":4775971,"position":2234,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.34.0"}
