It mirrors the AF SDK structure while adding Python idioms like context managers for connection handling. The package supports extracting recorded and interpolated values, updating records, and applying server-side summarization and filtering before data retrieval.\n\nThe package depends on pandas, numpy, pythonnet, and wrapt. It targets modern Python (3.10\u20133.13) and is classified as Beta. With 104 GitHub stars and steady maintenance, it serves a niche but established user base in industrial data access workflows.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need Python access to OSIsoft PI or PI-AF systems and have .NET runtime available. The package is stable, permissively licensed, and has low install friction. Maintenance is aging (508 days since last release), so verify compatibility with your PI SDK version and AVEVA's current tooling before committing to production use."},"id":"piconnect","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/piconnect","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/piconnect.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/piconnect/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-03-24","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"PIconnect","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"PIconnect - Connector to the OSISoft PI and PI-AF databases."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":90877,"position":13558,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.12.4"}
