# datahub — Dummy package for acryl-datahub

License: permissive · Maintenance: abandoned · Downloads: 138.2K/mo

## 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 above — 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

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.
