Each spinner entry contains frame sequences (the individual characters to display) and an interval (the millisecond delay between frames). You import the Spinners enum and access individual spinners by name to retrieve their animation data as dictionaries.\n\nThe package is intended as a data source for building terminal loading indicators\u2014it does not render or animate spinners itself, only provides the animation definitions. It depends on enum34 for enum support.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need a curated set of terminal spinner definitions for a CLI tool and want to avoid hardcoding animation frames. The low install friction and permissive MIT license make it a lightweight addition. However, maintenance is dormant (last release 2020-02-19); if you need active support or updates to spinner definitions, evaluate alternatives first."},"id":"spinners","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/spinners","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/spinners.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/spinners/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-02-19","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"spinners","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Spinners for terminals"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1867368,"position":3477,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.0.24"}
