datahub

What it is and what it does

datahub is a dummy package created by the acryl-datahub developers to occupy the PyPI name and prevent squatting. When installed, it pulls in acryl-datahub as its sole runtime dependency, ensuring that users who type `pip install datahub` end up with the correct package rather than a malicious or stale alternative.

This is not a functional tool itself—it is purely a namespace guard and convenience redirect. All actual data governance, metadata management, and API functionality lives in acryl-datahub. The package is abandoned (last release 2023-03-25) because it requires no maintenance; it exists only to route traffic to the real implementation.

Use it for:

• Installing the correct datahub package when you search for 'datahub' on PyPI without knowing the real package name is acryl-datahub.
• Ensuring legacy scripts or documentation that reference `pip install datahub` continue to work without breaking.
• Protecting the datahub namespace from being claimed by a malicious or abandoned third party.

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

This is a redirect package that installs acryl-datahub when you run `pip install datahub`, preventing name squatting and ensuring users get the correct data governance tool.

No—install acryl-datahub directly instead. This package is a historical artifact that serves no purpose for end users. It exists only to prevent name squatting and redirect old install commands. If you need datahub functionality, use `pip install acryl-datahub`. If you already have this package, it will pull in acryl-datahub anyway, so there is no advantage to keeping it.

Install

datahub on PyPI

pip install datahub

uv add datahub

poetry add datahub

Installing datahub

Before you install

Installation is frictionless (pure Python wheel, single dependency on acryl-datahub), but the package itself is abandoned as of 1238 days ago. It functions only as a redirect; active development and maintenance happen in acryl-datahub.

License in practice

MIT permissive license imposes no restrictions on use or redistribution. This is a minimal shim, so licensing concerns are negligible.

Quickstart

pip install datahub
# This installs acryl-datahub instead.
# Use acryl-datahub's API directly; datahub itself provides no functionality.

Verify before relying

• Whether acryl-datahub is actively maintained and what its current feature set is.
• Whether this redirect package will remain available or be deprecated in favor of direct installation of acryl-datahub.
