# googleauthentication — A meta package to be connected to Google services

License: permissive · Maintenance: aging · Downloads: 190.5K/mo

## What it is and what it does

googleauthentication is a meta package intended to facilitate connections to Google services from Python applications. It requires Python 3 or later and carries no runtime dependencies. The package has been in development since 2019, with the latest release (0.0.18) dated 2024-10-09. The repository has zero stars and shows signs of aging maintenance, suggesting limited adoption or visibility.

As a meta package with no declared runtime dependencies, its actual functionality and purpose are unclear from the fact sheet alone. Users should verify what specific Google integration it provides and whether it meets their authentication needs before installing.

Use it for:

- Including as a meta package in a project that integrates with Google services.
- Establishing a common namespace for Google-related authentication modules.
- Bundling Google service dependencies in a larger application stack.

## Worth the install?
