It is part of Mozilla's mozbase suite and is primarily used in Firefox automated testing and crash reporting workflows to convert raw minidump data into human-readable stack traces.\n\nThe package depends on mozfile and mozlog for file handling and logging. It is a thin wrapper around Mozilla's stackwalk tool and is designed for developers and test infrastructure that need to analyze crash data from Firefox or other Mozilla projects. The library has been stable since 2012 but is currently dormant, meaning new features or bug fixes are unlikely without community contribution.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are working with Mozilla Firefox crash data or testing infrastructure that relies on minidump analysis. The low install friction and lack of known vulnerabilities make it safe to add. However, the dormant maintenance status means you should verify that it works with your Python version and that the underlying stackwalk binary is available in your environment before relying on it for production crash analysis."},"id":"mozcrash","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mozcrash","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mozcrash.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/mozcrash/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-12-16","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"mozcrash","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Library for printing stack traces from minidumps left behind by crashed processes"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":231873,"position":9078,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.2.1"}
