It parses Dot files and bridges Python code to Graphviz's rendering engine, making it useful for generating diagrams, flowcharts, and network visualizations from Python without writing Dot syntax by hand.\n\nThe package is positioned as an improved fork of the older pydot project, claiming better PyParsing compatibility and Python 2.7\u20133 support. However, it has been abandoned since 2014-12-09 with no maintenance activity since then, meaning it has not been updated for modern Python versions, security patches, or changes in Graphviz itself.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last release 2014-12-09, 4266 days ago) with no maintenance, no declared runtime dependencies despite requiring pyparsing and GraphViz, and no evidence of compatibility with modern Python or Graphviz versions. If you need Graphviz integration, consider actively maintained alternatives."},"id":"pydotplus","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pydotplus","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pydotplus.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pydotplus/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2014-12-09","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pydotplus","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Python interface to Graphviz's Dot language"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":386822,"position":7048,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.0.2"}
