The library has no runtime dependencies and supports Python 3.6 and later.\n\nThe package is dormant with last release on 2024-01-06 and minimal repository activity. It ranks in the top tier by download volume but receives no active development. The source-only distribution and copyleft license (LGPLv3+) mean installation requires a build environment and any derivative work must preserve the same license.","worth_installing":"No. The package is dormant (last commit 2024-01-06, no active maintenance), has high install friction (source distribution only), and provides functionality now better served by Python's standard library or more actively maintained alternatives. The copyleft license also restricts use in proprietary code. Install only if maintaining legacy code that already depends on it."},"id":"utils","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/utils","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/utils.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/utils/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-01-06","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"utils","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A grab-bag of utility functions and objects"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":599038,"position":5832,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.2"}
