It allows engineers and researchers to build, analyze, and solve complex structural models\u2014such as buildings, bridges, and soil systems\u2014directly from Python code on Linux systems.\n\nThe package is actively maintained and has accumulated a modest but steady user base. It depends on no external Python packages at runtime, meaning installation is lightweight. However, the license terms are not formally declared via SPDX, and the package requires Python 3.12 or later, which may limit adoption on older environments.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you work in structural or geotechnical engineering on Linux and need a free, open-source FEA tool. The package is actively maintained, installs cleanly, and has no external dependencies. However, verify the LICENSE.md terms for your use case first, and confirm that Python 3.12+ is available in your environment."},"id":"openseespylinux","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/openseespylinux","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/openseespylinux.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/openseespylinux/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-03-18","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"openseespylinux","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A OpenSeesPy Linux package"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":609302,"position":5774,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.8.0.0"}
