executable-application
An example of an executable application.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No, unless you are actively testing package manager behavior. The package is dormant, has an unclear license, and is explicitly described as an example for testing rather than a tool for end users. There are no known vulnerabilities, but the lack of maintenance and missing license information make it unsuitable for production use.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.8 or later; no runtime dependencies.
- Low install friction with a pure Python wheel, but the package is dormant—last released 574 days ago with no visible repository activity or maintenance signals.

What it is and what it does
executable-application is a minimal example package that provides an executable application, created as a test fixture for testing. It has no runtime dependencies and installs as a pure Python wheel, making it lightweight and friction-free to add to an environment.
The package appears to be a reference implementation or test case rather than a tool intended for production use. With no documented functionality beyond being an example, no active maintenance, and an unclear license, it is primarily useful for developers testing package installation workflows or package manager behavior with executable applications.
Use it for
- Testing package manager ability to install and manage executable application packages.
- Verifying that package managers correctly handle minimal executable applications.
- Creating a reproducible test case for application distribution workflows.
- Validating Python 3.8+ compatibility in package installation pipelines.
