It reads version metadata from the application's installation directory and returns structured version data.\n\nThe package is part of Mozilla's mozbase testing toolkit and is designed for automation and testing scenarios where you need to programmatically determine what version of Firefox or another Mozilla application is installed on a machine. It depends on mozlog for logging and six for Python 2/3 compatibility, though it has not been maintained since mid-2023.","worth_installing":"No\u2014avoid for new projects. The package is abandoned (1113 days since last release) and targets Python 2.7 and 3.5, both long out of support. While it has no known vulnerabilities and low install friction, the lack of maintenance means it will likely fail on current Firefox versions and modern Python environments. Use only if you are maintaining legacy test infrastructure that already depends on it."},"id":"mozversion","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mozversion","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mozversion.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/mozversion/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-07-28","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"mozversion","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Library to get version information for applications"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":247793,"position":8683,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.4.0"}
