It is designed for developers who want to embed package resolution and lockfile generation into their own tools without using the CLI. The package implements build and distribution policies that let you control how the resolver and installer behave.\n\nThe package is actively maintained and currently in beta. It depends on build, installer, nab-index, nab-resolver, pyproject-hooks, tomli-w, tomli, and typing-extensions. The maintainers explicitly warn that the API is under rapid experimentation, so you should pin to exact versions rather than ranges.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to embed package resolution in a tool and are willing to pin exact versions due to the API's experimental status. The active maintenance, low install friction, MIT license, and zero known vulnerabilities support adoption. Not suitable if you need a stable, long-term API guarantee."},"id":"nab-python","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/nab-python","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/nab-python.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/nab-python/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-11","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"nab-python","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Index-backed provider, lockfile emitter, and downloader for nab"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":425217,"position":6760,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.0.13"}
