Rather than installing each extension separately, running `pip install lbt-honeybee` pulls in honeybee-core, honeybee-energy, honeybee-radiance (and related radiance tools), honeybee-display, plus all underlying Ladybug geometry and analysis libraries in one operation.\n\nThe package itself contains no source code; it exists purely as a dependency aggregator. It is intended for users who want the full Honeybee toolkit for architectural and environmental simulation work. The ecosystem is actively maintained, with a release dated 2026-08-13, and supports a range of Python versions from 2.7 through 3.12, though actual runtime support depends on the individual extension packages.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need the full Honeybee ecosystem for building simulation and analysis. This meta-package eliminates the friction of installing and coordinating multiple interdependent libraries. The active maintenance status (release 1 day old) and zero known vulnerabilities support reliability. The AGPL-3.0 license requires that modifications be shared under the same terms\u2014acceptable for open-source or internal projects but a consideration for proprietary work. Install it as your entry point to Honeybee rather than installing individual extensions."},"id":"lbt-honeybee","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/lbt-honeybee","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/lbt-honeybee.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/lbt-honeybee/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-13","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"agpl","name":"lbt-honeybee","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Installs a collection of Honeybee core and extension libraries."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":111513,"position":12412,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.9.446"}
