The library implements algorithms that allow you to estimate cardinality, compute set operations, and summarize data distributions without storing the full dataset in memory.\n\nThe package is built as compiled wheels for multiple Python versions and platforms (macOS, Linux, Windows). It has no runtime dependencies and installs as a self-contained binary component. However, the package has been dormant since its latest release on 2022-09-01, with no recent maintenance activity, which may affect compatibility with newer Python releases or bug fixes.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need sketching algorithms and can tolerate dormant maintenance. The package is permissively licensed, has no runtime dependencies, and provides access to well-established Apache DataSketches algorithms. However, verify that version 3.4.1.dev3 works with your target Python version and that the lack of recent maintenance does not conflict with your stability requirements."},"id":"whylogs-sketching","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/whylogs-sketching","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/whylogs-sketching.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/whylogs-sketching/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-09-01","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"whylogs-sketching","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"sketching library of whylogs"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":107523,"position":12611,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.4.1.dev3"}
