It takes a compose YAML file and converts it into Python objects you can inspect and manipulate programmatically, rather than parsing raw YAML yourself. The package depends only on pyyaml and requires Python 3.9 or later.\n\nThe library is intended for tools or scripts that need to inspect or process compose configurations without running Docker itself. It sits in the top 5000 PyPI packages by download volume, suggesting real-world use, but maintenance appears to have slowed\u2014the last release was over a year ago despite recent repository activity.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to parse Docker Compose files in Python and don't require active maintenance. The permissive MIT license and low install friction make it straightforward to adopt. However, the aging maintenance status (no release in 381 days) means you should verify the package handles your compose file version and be prepared to fork or patch if bugs arise."},"id":"pycomposefile","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pycomposefile","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pycomposefile.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pycomposefile/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-07-29","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pycomposefile","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Structured deserialization of Docker Compose files."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":6344811,"position":1925,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.0.34"}
