What it is and what it does

modal-client is a legacy compatibility package that no longer works. It was originally a name for the Modal client library but has been superseded by the `modal` package. The package exists only as a historical artifact and explicitly directs users not to use it. Anyone who encounters this package should uninstall it and install `modal` instead. The package has no runtime dependencies and is maintained in a dormant state.

Use it for:

  • Resolving a legacy import or dependency that still references modal-client by installing `modal` instead
  • Understanding why an old project specification mentions modal-client and what to migrate to
  • Cleaning up outdated package references in a requirements file or lock file

Worth the install?
