It addresses a standard library bug in .netrc formatting and adds write functionality that the standard module lacks. The package parses .netrc entries into dictionaries instead of tuples, making credential access more intuitive.\n\nYou use it to load your .netrc file, read or modify stored credentials for remote hosts, and save changes back to disk. It supports context manager usage for automatic saving. The package has no external dependencies and installs with low friction, but maintenance has been abandoned since mid-2022, so it will not receive updates for newer Python versions or bug fixes.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to read or write .netrc files and are on a stable Python version (2.7, 3.5\u20133.7 as listed). No, if you require active maintenance or plan to upgrade to newer Python versions soon\u2014the package is abandoned and will not receive updates. For modern Python, check whether the standard library bug is fixed in your version before choosing this package."},"id":"tinynetrc","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/tinynetrc","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/tinynetrc.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/tinynetrc/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-08-15","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"tinynetrc","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Read and write .netrc files."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":282657,"position":8085,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.3.1"}
