It provides functions to initialize player ratings, compute match quality (fairness), and update ratings after match outcomes. The package exports a simple API: Rating objects represent player skill, quality_1vs1 estimates match fairness, and rate_1vs1 updates ratings after a match result.\n\nThe package has no runtime dependencies and works across Python 2.7 and Python 3.4+. However, it is distributed as a source tarball only and has not been maintained since 2018, with no recent updates or security patches. It is suitable for hobby projects, educational use, or legacy systems already using it, but carries the risk of incompatibility with future Python versions and lack of maintainer support.","worth_installing":"No for new projects. The package is abandoned (last release 2018-09-07) with no active maintenance, high install friction (source-only), and classifiers that predate modern Python versions. Use it only if you are maintaining existing code already depending on it, or for educational exploration of the TrueSkill algorithm. For new competitive rating systems, consider actively maintained alternatives."},"id":"trueskill","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/trueskill","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/trueskill.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/trueskill/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2018-09-07","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"trueskill","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"The video game rating system"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":200242,"position":9697,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.4.5"}
