It provides read and write access to LevelDB databases with a Pythonic API.","skillfed_tags":["embedded-database","key-value-store","leveldb"],"use_cases":["Building a high-performance local cache or index for a data processing application.","Storing application state or configuration in a persistent, queryable key-value store.","Implementing a time-series or log storage backend for monitoring or analytics.","Prototyping or running a small-scale database without deploying a separate database service."],"what_it_does":"Plyvel wraps LevelDB, a high-performance embedded key-value storage engine, and exposes it through a Python API. It is designed for applications that need fast, persistent storage of key-value pairs without the overhead of a separate database server. The package is built with Cython and requires compilation against LevelDB headers, which adds installation friction on platforms without prebuilt wheels.\n\nThe library is classified as Production/Stable and has been in active use since its first release in 2012. It supports a rich feature set including iterators, snapshots, and batch operations. The aging maintenance status reflects that the last release was over a year ago, though the repository remains active and no security vulnerabilities are recorded. It is suitable for applications requiring embedded, high-speed key-value storage, such as caching layers, local indices, or data processing pipelines.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need embedded key-value storage with high performance and are comfortable with C++ compilation requirements. The package is stable and production-ready, with no known vulnerabilities. The aging maintenance status is not a blocker\u2014the repository is still active. Install friction is moderate but manageable with prebuilt wheels on common platforms."},"id":"plyvel","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/plyvel","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/plyvel.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/plyvel/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-01-15","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"plyvel","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Plyvel, a fast and feature-rich Python interface to LevelDB"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":2305077,"position":3153,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.5.1"}
