It works as both a standalone library and as a plugin for pyexcel, the larger spreadsheet abstraction framework. The library depends on pyexcel-io for format dispatch, lxml for XML parsing, and pyexcel-ezodf for ODS-specific operations.\n\nThe package is designed for developers who need to work with ODS files but want to focus on data manipulation rather than format details. It supports reading and writing entire sheets, working with in-memory streams, and pagination (though pagination reads the entire file first). Fonts, colors, charts, and password-protected files are not supported.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need ODS file support in Python and are comfortable with a library on a stable maintenance cadence (active but not rapidly evolving). The permissive license and low install friction make it a straightforward choice. Be aware that the latest release was in 2022 and fonts/colors/charts are not supported; verify compatibility with your Python version and ODS feature requirements before committing."},"id":"pyexcel-ods3","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyexcel-ods3","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyexcel-ods3.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyexcel-ods3/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-01-30","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pyexcel-ods3","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A wrapper library to read, manipulate and write data in ods format"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":95030,"position":13294,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.6.1"}
