It provides pre-built converters for common bases (binary, hexadecimal, base36, base58, base62, base64) and a BaseConverter class that lets you define custom alphabets for encoding and decoding. The package has no runtime dependencies and works by treating numbers as strings in the target base, supporting both positive and negative integers with customizable sign characters.\n\nThe package is mature and stable\u2014it was last updated in 2019 and has been in production use for years\u2014but is no longer actively maintained. The repository is archived and there have been no commits since 2020. It remains useful for straightforward base-conversion tasks in applications that do not require ongoing updates or support.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need straightforward base conversion and can accept no future maintenance. The package is stable, has no known vulnerabilities, and carries no dependencies. Install it only if your use case is simple and unlikely to require updates; avoid it if you need active support or compatibility assurance with future Python versions."},"id":"python-baseconv","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-baseconv","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-baseconv.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/python-baseconv/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2019-04-04","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"python-baseconv","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Convert numbers from base 10 integers to base X strings and back again."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":684546,"position":5357,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.2.2"}
