It exposes collection types and utilities that are part of the WinRT type system, allowing Python code running on Windows to work with WinRT collection abstractions directly.\n\nThe package is one of many modular namespace packages in the PyWinRT ecosystem, each providing bindings for a specific Windows SDK namespace. It depends on winrt-runtime and is typically used as a dependency when other WinRT packages need collection types, or when developers need direct access to foundation collection APIs from Python. Installation is limited to Windows platforms and requires Python 3.9 or later.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are developing on Windows and need access to WinRT collection types as part of a larger WinRT-based project. The MIT license and active (though aging) maintenance make it safe to use. However, this is primarily a dependency package rather than a standalone tool\u2014install it only if another WinRT package or your own Windows SDK integration requires it. Not applicable on non-Windows platforms."},"id":"winrt-windows-foundation-collections","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/winrt-windows-foundation-collections","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/winrt-windows-foundation-collections.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/winrt-windows-foundation-collections/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-06-06","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"winrt-Windows.Foundation.Collections","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python projection of Windows Runtime (WinRT) APIs"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":342439,"position":7398,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.2.1"}
