It provides foundational object-oriented infrastructure: the element/parent framework for representing mathematical objects, the category system for organizing mathematical structures, the coercion machinery for automatic type conversion, and the metaclasses that power the type hierarchy. This package is part of the passagemath fork, created in October 2024 to bring mathematical software into closer alignment with the scientific Python ecosystem while maintaining GPL-2.0-or-later licensing.\n\nThe package is intended for developers who need this object model without installing a full distribution. It depends on gmpy2 (arbitrary-precision arithmetic), cysignals (signal handling for interrupts), and typing_extensions for runtime type hints. Binary wheels are available for macOS, Linux (including musl), and Windows x86_64, though full Windows support still requires WSL or virtualization. The package is actively maintained with support for Python 3.11 through 3.14.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need this object system and coercion framework in lightweight, modular form. The package is actively maintained with no known vulnerabilities and offers binary wheels for major platforms. The GPL-2.0-or-later copyleft license is a hard constraint for proprietary projects; for open-source and academic use, it is straightforward. Install friction is moderate due to compiled dependencies, but pre-built wheels reduce friction on standard platforms."},"id":"passagemath-objects","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/passagemath-objects","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/passagemath-objects.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/passagemath-objects/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-09","license_spdx":"GPL-2.0-or-later","license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"passagemath-objects","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"passagemath: Sage objects, elements, parents, categories, coercion, metaclasses"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":77809,"position":14492,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"10.8.9"}
