It takes a text argument and outputs a formatted cow drawing with the text displayed above it in a speech bubble, similar to the classic Unix cowsay utility but implemented in Python.\n\nThe package is designed as a standalone CLI tool best installed via pipx for isolated execution, though pip install is also supported. It has no runtime dependencies, making it lightweight to install. The project is dormant but remains stable and functional for its narrow purpose.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you want a lightweight, zero-dependency tool for fun terminal output. The dormant maintenance status is not a concern for a stable, single-purpose utility with no dependencies to break. Install via pipx if you only need it occasionally; use pip if you want it available in a project."},"id":"pycowsay","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pycowsay","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pycowsay.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pycowsay/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-10-18","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pycowsay","python_support":"supports_current","summary":null},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":189985,"position":9918,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.0.0.2"}
