It ships with prebuilt wheels for Python 3.7+ on macOS and Windows, eliminating the need for a C compiler on those platforms. The library has no runtime dependencies beyond Python itself, making it lightweight to add to a project. Use it by importing and calling the available functions with byte data, handling the error exception if the operation fails.\n\nThe project has been abandoned since its latest release on 2020-07-09, with no commits or updates since then. While there are no known security vulnerabilities, the lack of active maintenance means bug fixes and compatibility updates with newer Python versions are unlikely to be addressed.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need LZFSE or LZVN decompression and are using Python 3.7+ on macOS or Windows. The library is lightweight, has no dependencies, and carries permissive MIT licensing. However, the project is abandoned since 2020-07-09 and no longer maintained\u2014do not expect bug fixes or compatibility updates for future Python versions. For production use, verify that version 0.4.1 works with your target Python version before committing to it."},"id":"pyliblzfse","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyliblzfse","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyliblzfse.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyliblzfse/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-07-09","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pyliblzfse","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Python bindings for the LZFSE reference implementation"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":130612,"position":11634,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.4.1"}
