It lets you work with geographic coordinates, compute distances, and organize points and regions into a discrete cell hierarchy that covers the Earth's surface. The library is useful for spatial queries, geographic clustering, and location-based services that need efficient indexing without the overhead of a full GIS system.\n\nThe package has no runtime dependencies and installs as a pure Python wheel, making setup simple. However, it has been abandoned since 2017-11-16 and receives no maintenance, security updates, or compatibility fixes. The classifiers indicate support only for Python 2.7 and Python 3.4, 3.5, which are themselves end-of-life; whether the code actually runs on modern Python versions is untested.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need S2 geometry and have confirmed it works on your Python version. The permissive MIT license and zero runtime dependencies make it low-risk to try. However, abandonment since 2017-11-16 means no bug fixes, security patches, or compatibility updates are forthcoming\u2014verify it runs on your target Python version before committing to it in production."},"id":"s2sphere","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/s2sphere","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/s2sphere.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/s2sphere/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2017-11-16","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"s2sphere","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Python implementation of the S2 Geometry Library"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":413665,"position":6841,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2.5"}
