It exposes Neovim's msgpack-rpc API to Python, allowing access to buffers, windows, variables, and Vimscript/Lua functions. The package has no runtime dependencies beyond Neovim itself, but requires the Neovim binary to be installed separately on your system.\n\nThe library supports both synchronous and asynchronous operations, thread-safe requests, and can be used interactively from the Python REPL or embedded in larger applications. It also enables the `:python3` Vim feature in Neovim, allowing Vimscript to call Python code. A known limitation exists: Vimscript dictionaries accessed from Python are copies, not references, so modifications must be reassigned as whole objects rather than mutated in place.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are actively developing Neovim plugins or scripting Neovim from Python. The package is actively maintained and permissively licensed. However, the gap between the latest PyPI release (2018-11-17) and current repository activity creates uncertainty about version currency. Verify that version 0.3.1 is compatible with your Neovim version before committing. Installation requires a pre-existing Neovim binary, which adds friction."},"id":"neovim","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/neovim","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/neovim.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/neovim/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2018-11-17","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"neovim","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Transition packgage for pynvim"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":86455,"position":13861,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.3.1"}
