It offers reader and writer classes for sequential and random-access patterns, making it useful for machine learning pipelines that depend on Kaldi's feature extraction or alignment output.\n\nThe package has been abandoned since March 2021 and receives no maintenance. It requires Python 3.6 or later and depends on an external Kaldi installation. The lack of runtime dependencies in PyPI suggests it wraps compiled Kaldi binaries or relies on system-level configuration, which may complicate setup and limit compatibility with newer Kaldi versions.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (no updates since 2021), has high install friction due to undocumented Kaldi system dependencies, and offers no clear path to working with current Kaldi or Python versions. Unless you are maintaining legacy code that already depends on it, consider using Kaldi's native Python bindings or alternative speech-processing libraries with active maintenance."},"id":"kaldi-python-io","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/kaldi-python-io","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/kaldi-python-io.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/kaldi-python-io/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-03-18","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"kaldi-python-io","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A pure python IO interface for data accessing in kaldi"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":578980,"position":5921,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.2.2"}
