It wraps the oathtool functionality and exposes it both as a command-line utility and a Python API, making it suitable for integrating OTP generation into scripts, applications, or authentication workflows.\n\nThe package is designed for flexibility: you can use it as a standalone CLI tool, import it as a library in Python code, generate a standalone script, or install it via pipx for system-wide access. It depends on autocommand, importlib_resources, and path\u2014all lightweight utilities\u2014and requires Python 3.9 or later.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, carries a permissive MIT license, and installs with low friction. It fills a straightforward need\u2014TOTP generation\u2014with both CLI and API interfaces.
