It's designed for small, frequently accessed data or large binary blobs where you want flexibility in where and how data is persisted.\n\nThe package has no runtime dependencies, making it easy to install. However, it is dormant: the last release was in 2020, and there has been no active maintenance since. It supports Python 2 and 3 but provides no explicit version constraint. If your use case fits the existing feature set and you don't need ongoing updates or support for the latest backend versions, it can work; otherwise, consider whether a more actively maintained alternative is safer for your project.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need a simple, dependency-free key-value abstraction and your use case aligns with the existing backends and feature set. No, if you require active maintenance, support for the latest backend versions, or ongoing security updates. The dormant status means you're committing to maintaining compatibility yourself if backend libraries evolve."},"id":"simplekv","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/simplekv","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/simplekv.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/simplekv/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-04-09","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"simplekv","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A key-value storage for binary data, support many backends."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":98939,"position":13048,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.14.1"}
