It exposes Boolector's API to Python, allowing developers to programmatically construct satisfiability problems, assert constraints, and query solutions. The solver supports incremental solving via push and pop commands and solving under assumptions, making it useful for applications that need to explore multiple related constraint scenarios.\n\nHowever, Boolector is no longer actively developed\u2014the project is archived, with active development and maintenance having stopped. The description explicitly states that Boolector was succeeded by Bitwuzla. While pyboolector remains installable and functional, it represents a legacy tool; developers considering it should be aware that bug fixes and feature improvements will not be forthcoming.","worth_installing":"No, unless you are maintaining legacy code that already depends on pyboolector. The package is functional but the underlying Boolector project is archived and no longer maintained. For new projects requiring SMT solving over bit-vectors, the description recommends Bitwuzla as the active successor. If you must use pyboolector for existing work, be aware that security updates and bug fixes are unlikely."},"id":"pyboolector","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyboolector","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyboolector.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyboolector/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-11-13","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"PyBoolector","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Python wrapper around the Boolector SMT solver"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":115147,"position":12267,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.2.4.19342042739"}
