It provides a pure-Python implementation of the Telnet protocol client, allowing legacy code and projects that depend on telnetlib to continue working on modern Python versions where the module is no longer included.\n\nThe package is part of a broader archival effort to preserve removed standard library modules on PyPI. It requires no external runtime dependencies and installs with low friction. The project is intentionally dormant and minimal\u2014it exists to maintain compatibility with existing code rather than to add features or actively develop the Telnet protocol support.","worth_installing":"Yes, if your project depends on telnetlib and targets Python versions where it has been removed from the standard library. The package is permissively licensed, has no external dependencies, and installs cleanly. Dormant maintenance is appropriate for an archival redistribution. Install only if you actually need Telnet protocol support; do not add it speculatively."},"id":"standard-telnetlib","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/standard-telnetlib","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/standard-telnetlib.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/standard-telnetlib/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-10-30","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"standard-telnetlib","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Standard library telnetlib redistribution. \"dead battery\"."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":458866,"position":6545,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.13.0"}
