Rather than bundling the Vale binary, the package downloads it on first use, allowing Python projects to declare Vale as a standard dependency in setup.py, requirements.txt, or pyproject.toml. The package version always mirrors the underlying Vale version, so vale==3.13.0 will download and run Vale 3.13.0.\n\nThe package has no Python runtime dependencies, making installation straightforward. It supports Python 3.7 and later. Maintenance is aging\u2014the last release was 290 days ago\u2014but the repository is not archived and releases are automatically generated when Vale itself updates, so the package stays current with Vale's development.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need style checking in a Python project and prefer managing Vale as a package dependency. Install friction is low and the license is permissive. The aging maintenance status is mitigated by automated version tracking, but verify that binary downloads work reliably in your deployment environment before relying on it in production CI/CD."},"id":"vale","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/vale","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/vale.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/vale/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-10-28","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"vale","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Install and use Vale (grammar & style check tool) in python environments."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":240812,"position":8899,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.13.0.0"}
