It provides the same interface as the standard library's linecache, which caches and retrieves lines from source files\u2014useful for tools that need to display or inspect source code at runtime, such as debuggers, profilers, and error handlers.\n\nThe package has been unmaintained since its last commit on 2017-09-01 and its repository is archived. It exists primarily for legacy codebases still running on Python 2 or very early Python 3 versions. Installation is straightforward with no external dependencies.","worth_installing":"No. The package targets Python versions that are no longer supported and has been abandoned since 2017-09-01. Modern Python includes linecache in the standard library. Install only if maintaining a legacy codebase on Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.2, 3.3, or 3.4 that explicitly requires this backport."},"id":"linecache2","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/linecache2","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/linecache2.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/linecache2/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2015-03-06","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"linecache2","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Backports of the linecache module"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1535864,"position":3799,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.0"}
