It provides both a Python API (the `uptime()` function) and a command-line interface, making it useful for monitoring, logging, or scripting tasks that need to know system uptime. The package is cross-platform in intent, with classifiers for Linux, macOS, Windows, BSD, Solaris, and other operating systems.\n\nThe library has no Python dependencies, but it relies on platform-specific system calls to fetch uptime data, which means behavior and reliability vary by OS. The package is dormant\u2014last released in 2013, with minimal recent maintenance\u2014so it may not work reliably on modern Python versions or newer operating systems without fixes.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need a simple uptime query on a supported platform and can tolerate dormant maintenance. No, if you require active support or compatibility with modern Python 3 versions\u2014test thoroughly on your target OS first. The lack of recent updates and unclear current license status make it risky for production use without verification."},"id":"uptime","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/uptime","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/uptime.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/uptime/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2013-10-07","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"uptime","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Cross-platform uptime library"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":373889,"position":7153,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.0.1"}
