It provides classes to build RTF files with styled text, multiple sections, headers/footers, tables, and embedded PNG and JPG images. The library was designed to be reliable and fast with PyParsing as its only runtime dependency.\n\nThe package is in Beta status and has been abandoned since 2017-05-19, with no active maintenance or updates. It remains functional for basic RTF generation tasks but should be considered legacy software; users requiring modern document generation may want to evaluate actively maintained alternatives.","worth_installing":"No, unless you have a specific legacy requirement to generate RTF files and cannot use a maintained alternative. The package is abandoned (last release 2017-05-19), offers no security or compatibility updates, and is licensed under copyleft GPL\u2014which blocks use in proprietary projects. The low install friction and lack of known vulnerabilities do not offset the maintenance and licensing risks."},"id":"pyrtf3","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyrtf3","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyrtf3.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyrtf3/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2017-05-19","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"PyRTF3","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"PyRTF - Rich Text Format Document Generation"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":232923,"position":9053,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.47.5"}
