It targets modern Python versions (3.9 through 3.14) and is classified as Beta maturity. Use it when your application needs to send notifications through an official government channel or when you're building services that integrate with GOV.UK infrastructure.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building a service that uses GOV.UK Notify.
