It scans files and reports violations like missing docstrings, incorrect quote styles, and improper blank line placement around docstrings. The tool runs from the command line and integrates into CI/CD pipelines or development workflows to catch documentation style issues early.\n\nThe package depends on snowballstemmer for linguistic processing and importlib-metadata for runtime metadata access. It supports Python 3.6 and later, though the project itself has been archived and is no longer actively maintained\u2014the last release was 2023-01-17 and the repository received its final commit on 2023-11-03.","worth_installing":"Yes, but with caution. pydocstyle remains functional for enforcing PEP 257 docstring conventions and has low install friction. However, the project is archived and abandoned\u2014no maintenance since 2023-11-03. Install it if you need a stable, lightweight docstring linter for existing codebases, but be aware that compatibility with future Python versions is not guaranteed and no bug fixes or updates will be released."},"id":"pydocstyle","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pydocstyle","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pydocstyle.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pydocstyle/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-01-17","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pydocstyle","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python docstring style checker"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":4949358,"position":2190,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"6.3.0"}
