It implements common GFM features like fenced code blocks, tables, task lists, strikethrough, and hyperlink parsing across multiple protocols. The package is a pure Python implementation and therefore cannot achieve 100% byte-for-byte compatibility with GitHub's own rendering engine.\n\nThe maintainer has publicly stated that this library will not receive bug fixes and may become read-only. Known consistency issues exist between py-gfm's output and GitHub's rendering. The description explicitly recommends considering alternatives due to maintenance constraints.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned and the maintainer explicitly states it will not receive bug fixes. Known consistency issues exist with GitHub's rendering. Only install py-gfm if you are maintaining legacy code that already depends on it and cannot migrate to an actively maintained alternative."},"id":"py-gfm","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/py-gfm","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/py-gfm.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/py-gfm/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-11-18","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"py-gfm","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"An implementation of Github-Flavored Markdown written as an extension to the Python Markdown library."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":76331,"position":14634,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.0.0"}
