It decouples from ROS to simplify setup and use, offering core motion planning functionality through a minimal Python interface. The package depends on numpy for numerical computation, toppra for trajectory optimization, and transforms3d for 3D geometric transformations.\n\nThe library targets developers and researchers working on robot manipulation who need trajectory planning and collision checking without the overhead of a full ROS installation. It supports Python 3.8 through 3.12 on Linux and provides prebuilt wheels for straightforward installation, though the project has not released updates in over two years, which may limit support for newer Python versions or bug fixes.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. Install if you need lightweight, ROS-independent motion planning for robot manipulation on Linux and can accept a dormant codebase. The MIT license and prebuilt wheels lower friction, but the 727-day release gap means no recent bug fixes or Python version updates\u2014verify that version 0.2.1 meets your Python and platform requirements before committing. No known security vulnerabilities."},"id":"mplib","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mplib","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mplib.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/mplib/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-08-17","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"mplib","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A lightweight motion planning library"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":74641,"position":14807,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2.1"}
