It covers converters (extracting numbers and floats from strings, scaling bytes, remapping values), smart containers (self-casting dicts, duplicate-proof lists, sliceable deques), async helpers (acount, abatcher for async iteration), time utilities (formatting durations, timeout generators), and decorators (listify, sample). The package is fully typed, passes strict mypy and basedpyright checks, and ships with 100% test coverage.\n\nDesigned for minimal overhead, it uses lazy imports so importing the package itself pulls in nothing until you actually call a helper. Its single runtime dependency is typing-extensions, and it requires Python 3.10 or later. The package has powered production code for years and is used by libraries like Django Utils and progressbar2.","worth_installing":"Yes. Low install friction, no heavy dependencies, active maintenance, permissive license, and zero known vulnerabilities make it a safe choice. The lazy-loading design and strict typing add real value for codebases that care about both performance and correctness. Install it if you find yourself repeatedly writing converters, time formatters, or async batching logic."},"id":"python-utils","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-utils","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-utils.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/python-utils/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-02","license_spdx":"BSD-3-Clause","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"python-utils","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python Utils is a module with some convenient utilities not included with the standard Python install"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":20241585,"position":1042,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"4.0.0"}
