It focuses on Unicode text handling and Python 2\u20133 compatibility helpers, packaged as importable modules rather than inline code. The package was last updated on 2019-05-14 and is no longer actively maintained.\n\nThe library targets Python 2.4\u20132.7 and Python 3.3\u20133.4 as indicated by its classifiers. It was designed to solve problems common when those versions were in use. For new projects, standard library equivalents or actively maintained alternatives are likely safer choices.","worth_installing":"No, unless you are maintaining legacy code that already depends on kitchen. The package is abandoned (last release 2019-05-14), has high install friction, and targets obsolete Python versions. Modern Python projects should use standard library equivalents or actively maintained alternatives."},"id":"kitchen","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/kitchen","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/kitchen.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/kitchen/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2019-05-14","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"kitchen","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Kitchen contains a cornucopia of useful code"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":130720,"position":11628,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.2.6"}
