It defines three main classes\u2014NtStatus, Win32Error, and HResult\u2014each exposing a complete or near-complete set of named constants from the Windows API documentation. Each constant is represented as a ThirtyTwoBits object that can be compared to integers using either their signed or unsigned interpretation, solving the common problem of matching numeric error codes returned by Windows APIs to their symbolic names.\n\nThe library is designed for developers working with ctypes, pywin32, or other Windows interop layers who need to decode error codes or check status values against known constants. It has no runtime dependencies and installs cleanly. The package supports Python 3.10 through 3.13 and is licensed under MIT, making it freely usable in any project.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are writing Windows interop code in Python and need to work with NTSTATUS, Win32 Error, or HRESULT values. The library is lightweight, dependency-free, and solves a real friction point in Windows API integration. However, note that maintenance is aging\u2014the last update was 2025-06-11 with no recent activity, so treat it as stable but not actively developed."},"id":"ntstatus","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ntstatus","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ntstatus.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/ntstatus/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-06-11","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"ntstatus","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python enum for NTSTATUS from WinAPI, supporting comparision to both signed and unsigned integers"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":144527,"position":11149,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.0"}
