It lets you construct ripgrep commands programmatically by chaining method calls\u2014each method corresponds to a ripgrep flag\u2014then execute the search and retrieve results in multiple formats (string, dictionary, or JSON). The package is built on ripgrep version 11.0.1 and targets Python 3.7+.\n\nThe main constraint is that ripgrepy does not bundle ripgrep itself; it acts as a thin wrapper around the system ripgrep binary. You must have rg installed and in your PATH (or provide an explicit path) before any search will work. This makes it useful for automating ripgrep searches within Python scripts or applications, but it adds a system-level dependency that must be satisfied separately.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you already have ripgrep installed on your system and need programmatic access to its search capabilities from Python. The package is straightforward and has no Python dependencies. However, the aging maintenance status (399 days since last release) and unclear license warrant a quick check of the repository before adopting it in production. The mandatory external ripgrep binary is not a blocker if you already use ripgrep, but it is a hard requirement."},"id":"ripgrepy","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ripgrepy","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ripgrepy.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/ripgrepy/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-07-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"ripgrepy","python_support":"unspecified","summary":null},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":343630,"position":7381,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.2.0"}
