It wraps HTTP requests using aiohttp and parses responses with pydantic, making it straightforward to integrate outage data into Python applications. The library targets modern Python versions (3.8+) and is typed for IDE support.\n\nTypical use involves instantiating a client and calling methods to retrieve current outage counts or details from PECO's public outage map. The package is small and focused\u2014it does not attempt to cache, predict, or analyze outages, only to fetch and structure what the API provides. It's useful for dashboards, alerts, or local monitoring tools that need real-time outage visibility for the PECO service area.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to query PECO outage data and can tolerate infrequent maintenance. The library is permissively licensed, has low install friction, and carries no known vulnerabilities. However, the 564-day release gap and aging maintenance status mean you should verify the PECO API endpoint is still stable and plan to maintain a fork if the upstream project stalls."},"id":"peco","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/peco","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/peco.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/peco/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-01-27","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"peco","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A library for interacting with the PECO outage map to gain the numbers from it."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":73674,"position":14950,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.1.2"}
