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- Cleaning up outdated package references in a requirements file or lock file
