It supports sending messages to channels, retrieving user lists, uploading files, and other core Slack operations. The library also supports HTTP proxying and connection pooling via the requests library.\n\nHowever, the package is archived and unmaintained as of 2020. The classifiers indicate support for Python 2.7, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, and 3.7. While it has no known vulnerabilities, the lack of maintenance means it may not work with current Slack API changes or contemporary security practices.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned and unmaintained since 2020, with no active development. Slack's API has evolved significantly since then, and there is no guarantee of compatibility. For new projects, use an actively maintained alternative. For legacy systems already using slacker, plan a migration to a supported client library."},"id":"slacker","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/slacker","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/slacker.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/slacker/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-02-15","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"slacker","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Slack API client"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":455396,"position":6558,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.14.0"}
