Instead of printing test output to the console, it generates structured XML reports that downstream tools can parse and display.\n\nThe package provides XMLTestRunner as a drop-in replacement for unittest's standard TextTestRunner, plus a Django integration hook. It has no runtime dependencies and works by wrapping the unittest framework. However, the project has been dormant since 2014, with the last release over a decade ago\u2014while the repository is not archived, active maintenance is minimal.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. The package is stable and has no known vulnerabilities, making it suitable for existing projects already using it or for simple unittest-to-XML conversion needs. However, install friction is high (source-only distribution), and dormancy since 2014 means no support for modern Python or CI ecosystem changes. If you need active maintenance or compatibility with recent tooling, consider alternatives like pytest with junit-xml plugin or modern CI-native reporting."},"id":"xmlrunner","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/xmlrunner","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/xmlrunner.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/xmlrunner/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2014-11-10","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"xmlrunner","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"PyUnit-based test runner with JUnit like XML reporting."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":287894,"position":8022,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.7.7"}
