It was designed to simplify querying hardware information on Linux systems through both a command-line interface and programmatic APIs. The package has no runtime dependencies and installs cleanly, but it has been abandoned since 2015-04-24 and was only ever tested against Python 3.4, so its behavior on modern Python versions is unknown.\n\nThe library provides methods to look up device names, vendor names, and subsystem device names by their numeric identifiers. It exposes this functionality through sub-commands (pci-lookup, subsystem-device) for CLI use and through a LibPCI class for programmatic access. Because it wraps a system C library, you must have libpci installed on your system for it to work.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last commit 2015-04-24) and only tested against Python 3.4, making compatibility with modern Python versions uncertain. While it has no runtime dependencies and low install friction, the lack of maintenance, unverified Python support, and Alpha status mean you should seek an actively maintained alternative or verify it works in your specific environment before relying on it."},"id":"libpci","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/libpci","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/libpci.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/libpci/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2015-04-24","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"libpci","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Pure-Python, high-level bindings to libpci"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":88212,"position":13741,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2"}
