The chunk module provides utilities for reading and writing AIFF-C audio files, specifically handling the chunk-based structure of those files.\n\nThis package exists to support legacy projects that depend on chunk but can no longer import it from the standard library. It is intentionally minimal\u2014the maintainer explicitly discourages feature requests and new development, positioning this as an archive of the old standard library made installable via pip. If you have a project that imports chunk and broke after upgrading Python, this package restores that import; otherwise, you likely do not need it.","worth_installing":"Yes, but only if your project explicitly imports chunk and broke after Python 3.13. This is a compatibility shim for legacy code, not a new feature. Install it if you need chunk; skip it otherwise. Maintenance is dormant, so expect no active development or support\u2014it is a snapshot of a removed standard library, not an actively maintained package."},"id":"standard-chunk","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/standard-chunk","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/standard-chunk.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/standard-chunk/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-10-30","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"standard-chunk","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Standard library chunk redistribution. \"dead battery\"."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":3847469,"position":2479,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.13.0"}
