It implements the OpenStep plist format reader, making Xcode project data directly accessible within Python code.\n\nThe package is useful for automation, build system integration, or programmatic inspection of Xcode projects. With no runtime dependencies and a pure-Python implementation, it integrates cleanly into CI/CD pipelines and development tools. It requires Python 3.10 or later and has remained stable across its decade-long history.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to parse Xcode projects in Python. Low install friction, no dependencies, permissive MIT license, and no known vulnerabilities make it safe to add. Maintenance is aging (last release 308 days ago), so verify the package handles your specific Xcode version before relying on it for critical automation."},"id":"openstep-parser","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/openstep-parser","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/openstep-parser.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/openstep-parser/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-10-10","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"openstep-parser","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"OpenStep plist reader into python objects"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":94334,"position":13333,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.0.3"}
