It provides programmatic access to opack-encoded data by deserializing binary payloads into Python objects. The library depends on arrow for date/time handling and construct for binary data structure parsing, giving it a focused, minimal dependency footprint.\n\nThe package is classified as Production/Stable and supports Python 3.9 through 3.13. It is a fork of an earlier opack implementation and includes CLI support alongside its library interface. The project is dormant\u2014no updates have occurred since its initial release\u2014so it is suitable only for use cases where the opack format is already a requirement and no active development or bug fixes are expected.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you specifically need to parse opack format data from iOS or Apple systems and accept that the package is dormant with no active maintenance. The low install friction, stable classifier, and zero known vulnerabilities make it safe to use for its narrow purpose. However, do not install if you expect ongoing support, bug fixes, or feature development\u2014the package has not been updated since 2024-12-15 and shows no signs of future activity."},"id":"opack2","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/opack2","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/opack2.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/opack2/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-12-15","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"opack2","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python library for parsing the opack format"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":311133,"position":7739,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.0.1"}
