It recognizes 'yes', 'true', 'y', 't', '1' as True and 'no', 'false', 'n', 'f', '0' as False, treating input case-insensitively. The package has no runtime dependencies and is designed as a drop-in function for simple string-to-bool conversion tasks.\n\nThe package is production-stable but dormant\u2014its last release was 2017-12-25 and it receives no active development. It remains functional for its narrow use case but will not receive bug fixes or feature updates. The high install friction and lack of recent maintenance make it a legacy choice.","worth_installing":"No. While the package is permissively licensed and has no known vulnerabilities, its high install friction, dormant maintenance status (last release 2017-12-25), and lack of active development make it a poor choice for new projects. Only consider it if you're maintaining legacy code that already depends on it."},"id":"str2bool","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/str2bool","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/str2bool.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/str2bool/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2017-12-25","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"str2bool","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Convert string to boolean"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":243415,"position":8797,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.1"}
