It provides functions for string case conversion (camelCase \u2194 underscore_separated), dynamic object resolution from string names, automatic contextual logging, and peek-ahead iteration. The library is designed for scenarios where you need to adapt data types or names between an external API and an internal data model.\n\nThe package depends only on six and installs as a pure Python wheel with no compiled dependencies. However, it has been unmaintained since 2019-11-02 and shows no recent development activity, which raises questions about its compatibility with modern Python versions and whether its single dependency remains actively supported.","worth_installing":"No. While the package has low install friction and no known vulnerabilities, it has been abandoned for 2477 days with no maintenance since 2019-11-02. The utility functions it provides are straightforward enough to implement directly or find in actively maintained alternatives. Using an unmaintained package introduces long-term compatibility risk without ongoing support."},"id":"pockets","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pockets","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pockets.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pockets/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2019-11-02","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pockets","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A collection of helpful Python tools!"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":389814,"position":7025,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.9.1"}
