It includes a DNS forwarding service for Windows that can bind to IPv6 addresses (6to4 and Teredo), addressing a limitation in Microsoft's production DNS Server. The service can be configured with a bind address and stores its configuration in the Windows registry.\n\nThe package depends on a broad set of utilities including mechanize, requests, BeautifulSoup4, keyring, feedparser, and several other jaraco modules. It targets Python 3.9 and later and is classified as production-stable. Beyond the DNS forwarding service, the package provides miscellaneous networking helpers, though the fact sheet does not detail their specific functions.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need the DNS forwarding service on Windows or are building on jaraco's ecosystem. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and carries permissive MIT licensing. However, the 19 runtime dependencies may be heavier than expected for a utilities library; verify that the specific networking functions you need are included before committing to the full dependency tree."},"id":"jaraco-net","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/jaraco-net","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/jaraco-net.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/jaraco-net/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-02-17","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"jaraco.net","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Networking tools by jaraco"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":73880,"position":14914,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"10.2.3"}
