It provides CLI command support with shell completion for bash and zsh, version management utilities, and general-purpose data processing functions. The package depends on colorful, httpx, lxml, packaging, python-dateutil, rich, semver, shtab, and tomlkit to handle formatting, HTTP requests, XML parsing, version handling, and configuration management.\n\nThe package is actively maintained and supports modern Python versions from 3.10 through 3.14. It can be installed via pip, pipx, or poetry, though newer Linux distributions may require pipx due to PEP 668 restrictions. The library is distributed under GPLv3, making it suitable for open-source projects but requiring license compliance for proprietary use.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need a collection of development utilities and are comfortable with GPLv3 licensing. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, and provides useful helpers for CLI and version management tasks. Not suitable for proprietary projects due to copyleft licensing."},"id":"pontos","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pontos","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pontos.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pontos/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-19","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"pontos","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Common utilities and tools maintained by Greenbone AG"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":115328,"position":12257,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"26.5.0"}
