It stores mappings where keys are sequences\u2014typically strings\u2014and allows you to retrieve items by exact key match or by prefix. Beyond standard dictionary operations, it supports prefix-based lookups: finding all items whose keys start with a given prefix, or finding items whose keys are prefixes of a given string.\n\nThe package has no external dependencies and installs cleanly. However, it has been abandoned since late 2020, with no commits or releases in years. If you need a trie for a small project or learning, it works; for production systems requiring ongoing maintenance or bug fixes, you should evaluate actively maintained alternatives.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need a simple, dependency-free trie for a non-critical project or learning. No, if you require active maintenance, bug fixes, or production-grade reliability\u2014the package is abandoned and has not been updated since 2020. The permissive BSD license removes legal friction, but the lack of maintenance is the real blocker."},"id":"pytrie","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pytrie","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pytrie.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pytrie/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-10-21","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"PyTrie","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A pure Python implementation of the trie data structure."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":73580,"position":14973,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.4.0"}
