Rather than being a plugin itself, it provides reusable utilities and helpers that abstract away common patterns and boilerplate needed when extending Pylint's linting capabilities. The package is used as a foundation by established plugins like pylint-django and pylint-celery, making it a reference implementation for plugin development patterns.\n\nThe package requires Pylint as its sole runtime dependency and supports Python 3.9 through 3.13. It is actively maintained and marked production-stable, with a long history dating back to 2013. Installation is straightforward with no compiled dependencies or system-level requirements.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are writing a Pylint plugin. It is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and provides a stable foundation used by established plugins. The GPL v2+ license requires your plugin code to be GPL-compatible. If you are only using Pylint as an end user, you do not need this package directly."},"id":"pylint-plugin-utils","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pylint-plugin-utils","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pylint-plugin-utils.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pylint-plugin-utils/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-06-24","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"pylint-plugin-utils","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Utilities and helpers for writing Pylint plugins"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":3966830,"position":2433,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.9.0"}
