It exposes Pandoc's internal representation\u2014metadata, blocks, and inline elements\u2014so you can manipulate document structure directly in Python code rather than shelling out to the command-line tool.\n\nThe package depends on plumbum for subprocess handling and ply for parsing. It requires the standalone Pandoc tool to be pre-installed on your system; the Python library itself is a thin interface over that external dependency. It's useful for document pipelines, bulk transformations, and programmatic document generation where you need fine-grained control over Pandoc's AST.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need programmatic document manipulation with Pandoc's AST and are willing to manage the external Pandoc dependency. No, if you want active maintenance or Python version guarantees\u2014the package is dormant and its compatibility with modern Pandoc versions is unverified. Install only if your Pandoc version is stable and you can tolerate no upstream support."},"id":"pandoc","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pandoc","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pandoc.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pandoc/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-08-07","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pandoc","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Pandoc Documents for Python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":756864,"position":5138,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.4"}
