{"categories":[{"label":"Software Development","url":"https://skillfed.io/packages/category/software-development/6"}],"enrichment":{"capability":"Pycnite provides pure Python parsers for Python bytecode (.pyc files) that work across different Python versions, letting tools analyze or manipulate bytecode from target versions 3.8 through 3.12 regardless of the host Python version.","skillfed_tags":["bytecode-analysis","cross-version-compatibility"],"use_cases":["Build tools that need to inspect or validate bytecode from multiple Python versions without installing each version","Bytecode decompilers or reverse-engineering tools that must handle .pyc files from different Python releases","Static analysis tools that analyze compiled Python code across version boundaries","Development utilities that need to parse or transform bytecode as part of a larger workflow"],"what_it_does":"Pycnite is a pure Python library for parsing and working with Python's compiled bytecode format (.pyc files). It provides versioned parsers that can read bytecode from Python 3.8 through 3.12, allowing tools to analyze or manipulate bytecode from different target Python versions without needing that version installed as the host runtime. This is useful for build tools, decompilers, bytecode analyzers, and other development utilities that need to work with compiled Python code.\n\nThe package has no external runtime dependencies, making it lightweight to integrate. It is classified as alpha software and has not been updated in 744 days, so while it covers the supported target versions, you should verify whether it remains actively maintained and whether its API is stable for your use case.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to parse Python bytecode across versions 3.8\u20133.12 and can tolerate alpha-stage software with no recent updates. The permissive license and zero dependencies make it low-friction to add. However, verify that the package's API and feature set match your bytecode analysis needs, and be prepared to maintain a fork or find alternatives if the dormant status becomes problematic."},"id":"pycnite","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pycnite","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pycnite.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pycnite/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-07-31","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pycnite","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python bytecode utilities"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":945597,"position":4668,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2024.7.31"}
