AI interpretation — verify before relying

AI-generated interpretation of the package facts above; every digit, version, license, or vulnerability id it cites is grounded in the facts already shown on this page

Installs python-build-standalone, a pre-built Python runtime distribution, with automatic version synchronization to upstream releases.

Low friction: pure Python wheel with no runtime dependencies. Active maintenance with a release 6 days ago and regular upstream synchronization via GitHub Actions.

MIT permissive license allows unrestricted use, modification, and distribution in both open and closed projects.

Usage

pip install pbs-installer==2026.8.7

from pbs_installer import install
install()

Requires Python 3.9 or later.

Verdict: A lightweight, actively maintained installer for python-build-standalone with permissive MIT licensing and no dependencies. Suitable for projects needing portable Python runtimes, though actual availability depends on platform support from the upstream project.

Needs verification

Which Python versions can be installed and whether coverage spans all major platforms (Linux, macOS, Windows)
Performance or compatibility trade-offs compared to system Python or other distribution methods
