# executable-application — An example of an executable application.

License: unclear · Maintenance: dormant · Downloads: 213.9K/mo

## 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.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

A minimal executable application package intended for testing purposes, with no runtime dependencies and support for Python 3.8 and later.

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.

## Install

pip install executable-application
uv add executable-application
poetry add executable-application

## Installing executable-application

Before you install: 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.

License in practice: License status is unclear; no SPDX identifier or raw license text is available, so legal obligations cannot be determined from the package metadata alone.

Quickstart:

pip install executable-application==0.3.0

The package provides an executable application entry point but no documented API or function calls.

Requires Python 3.8 or later; no runtime dependencies.

Verify before relying:

- What the executable application actually does when invoked—the description only states it is an example for testing.
- Whether the package is actively maintained or if dormancy indicates abandonment.
- What specific testing scenario this package is designed to support.
