It provides methods to convert between camelCase, underscored_case, and human-readable formats, as well as utilities for generating database table names, class names, and URL-friendly strings.\n\nThe package is a pure-Python implementation with no external dependencies, making it lightweight and easy to integrate. It's designed for applications that follow convention-over-configuration patterns, where consistent string transformations are needed for code generation or URL routing. The library has been stable since its initial release in 2011, though development has been dormant since early 2024.","worth_installing":"Yes, for stable convention-based string transformations. The package has no dependencies, a permissive license, and zero known vulnerabilities. Its dormant maintenance status is not a blocker for a self-contained utility, but verify Python version compatibility before relying on it in new projects. Best suited for established codebases that already depend on it or for applications where naming conventions are critical and stability matters more than active development."},"id":"inflector","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/inflector","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/inflector.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/inflector/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-01-12","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"Inflector","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Inflector for Python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":419491,"position":6797,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.1.1"}
