It exposes both a library API for use in Python applications and a command-line tool for batch processing rule files into JSON. The package has no external runtime dependencies and requires only Python 3.10 or later.\n\nTypical use cases include extracting indicators from rule sets, updating rule metadata in bulk, linting or validating rule syntax, analyzing rule dependencies, and building tooling around YARA rule management. The parser preserves both the parsed structure (rule name, strings, conditions, metadata) and the raw text of each section, allowing users to work with either representation depending on their needs.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you work with YARA rules and need to parse or transform them programmatically. The package is stable, has no dependencies, and installs easily. Maintenance is dormant but not abandoned\u2014the repository is still active. Be aware that the last release was over a year ago, so if you need recent bug fixes or features, check the repository's open issues first."},"id":"plyara","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/plyara","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/plyara.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/plyara/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-02-06","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"plyara","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Parse YARA rules"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":135207,"position":11449,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.2.8"}
