It lets you load existing COLLADA (.dae) files into Python objects you can inspect and modify, or construct new COLLADA documents programmatically from scratch. The library depends on numpy for numerical operations and python-dateutil for timestamp handling.\n\nThe package is used by established 3D tools for COLLADA import and export, as well as specialized mesh processing. It bridges Python workflows with the broader 3D graphics ecosystem, though its aging maintenance status means updates and bug fixes arrive slowly.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to read or write COLLADA files in Python and can tolerate slow maintenance cycles. The library is stable, has no known vulnerabilities, and low install friction. However, verify that its COLLADA feature coverage meets your needs and be prepared for delayed responses to issues given the aging status."},"id":"pycollada","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pycollada","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pycollada.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pycollada/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-01-24","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pycollada","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"python library for reading and writing collada documents"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":3431940,"position":2624,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.9.3"}
