It works both as a magic command in Jupyter notebooks and IPython sessions (via %watermark) and as a callable function in regular Python code. The extension prints timestamps, Python implementation details, system information (OS, CPU, machine type), and versions of any packages you specify.\n\nThe package depends on ipython, importlib-metadata, and setuptools. It supports Python 3.7 and later and has been in production use since 2016. Common use cases include documenting notebook execution time, recording environment snapshots for reproducibility, and checking installed package versions at runtime.","worth_installing":"Yes. Watermark is a lightweight, stable utility with low install friction and no known vulnerabilities. It solves a real problem\u2014capturing reproducible environment metadata\u2014with a simple, well-established API. Install it if you work regularly in Jupyter notebooks or IPython and need to document or inspect your computational environment."},"id":"watermark","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/watermark","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/watermark.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/watermark/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-12-21","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"watermark","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"IPython magic function to print date/time stamps and various system information."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":121838,"position":11970,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.6.0"}
