This package is a direct Python port of the original JavaScript WaveDrom implementation, letting you generate SVG diagrams programmatically or via command line without installing Node.js. It reads WaveDrom-compatible JSON input and outputs SVG files.\n\nThe package has zero runtime dependencies and works as both a Python library (via `wavedrom.render()`) and a command-line tool (`wavedrompy`). It's used by Sphinx documentation tools to embed waveform diagrams in generated docs. The tool is a faithful translation of the original JavaScript, aiming for full compatibility rather than adding new features.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need WaveDrom diagrams in Python and your target Python version is 3.7 or earlier. No, if you require active maintenance or need to use modern Python versions\u2014the package is abandoned (last release 2022-05-27) and classifiers suggest support only through Python 3.7. Consider it for legacy projects or as a reference implementation; for new projects, verify that it works on your Python version and that no maintained fork exists."},"id":"wavedrom","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/wavedrom","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/wavedrom.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/wavedrom/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-05-27","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"wavedrom","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"WaveDrom compatible python command line"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":128001,"position":11724,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.0.3.post3"}
