It bundles the `textual` CLI tool, which developers use to run, test, and debug Textual applications during development. The package depends on the core textual library, aiohttp for HTTP functionality, click for CLI argument handling, msgpack for serialization, and typing-extensions for type hints.\n\nThe package targets developers building terminal applications and is positioned as a development aid rather than a runtime requirement for end users. It supports Python 3.9 through 3.14 on macOS, Windows, and Linux, and carries an MIT license. The package occupies a stable position in the ecosystem, though the aging maintenance status suggests the tool is mature and stable rather than actively evolving.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are developing Textual applications. The package is stable, carries no known vulnerabilities, and has low install friction. The aging maintenance status is not a concern for a mature development tool. Install it as part of your Textual development environment, not as a runtime dependency for end users."},"id":"textual-dev","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/textual-dev","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/textual-dev.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/textual-dev/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-10-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"textual-dev","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Development tools for working with Textual"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":528376,"position":6168,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.8.0"}
