It allows you to programmatically define seccomp policies\u2014rules that restrict which system calls a process may invoke. The package is designed as an alternative when native bindings are unavailable, and is API compatible with libseccomp's own Python bindings.\n\nThe package has been abandoned since early 2021 and receives no maintenance. It targets Python 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8, and depends only on the system libseccomp library, making installation frictionless. However, its age means compatibility with modern Python versions and current libseccomp APIs is unverified.","worth_installing":"No, unless you have a specific reason to need this package. The package is abandoned, untested on modern Python versions, and offers no advantage over maintained alternatives.
