# robotcode-core — Some core classes for RobotCode

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 86.9K/mo

## What it is and what it does

robotcode-core is a foundational package that supplies shared type definitions and utility classes for the RobotCode project, which provides tooling and extensions for Robot Framework. It is part of a larger ecosystem designed to enhance Robot Framework development and automation workflows. The package itself is minimal and lightweight, depending only on typing-extensions, making it suitable as a base layer for other RobotCode components. It is actively maintained, supports modern Python versions (3.10 through 3.14), and carries no known security vulnerabilities.

Developers typically install this package either as a direct dependency when building RobotCode-based tools or as a transitive dependency when using higher-level RobotCode components. Its role is to provide a stable, typed foundation that other packages in the RobotCode ecosystem can build upon, reducing duplication and ensuring consistency across the project.

Use it for:

- Building custom RobotCode extensions or plugins that need access to shared type definitions
- Developing Robot Framework automation tools that integrate with the RobotCode ecosystem
- Creating type-safe utilities for Robot Framework test automation projects
- Serving as a base dependency for other RobotCode packages and tools

## Worth the install?

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

Provides core type definitions and utility classes for the RobotCode project, a tool ecosystem for Robot Framework development and automation.

Yes, if you are building or using RobotCode tools or Robot Framework extensions. The package is actively maintained, has no security vulnerabilities, minimal dependencies, and clear Apache-2.0 licensing. Install it as a direct dependency only if you are developing RobotCode-based tools; otherwise it will likely arrive as a transitive dependency.

## Install

pip install robotcode-core
uv add robotcode-core
poetry add robotcode-core

## Installing robotcode-core

Before you install: Low install friction with a single lightweight dependency (typing-extensions). Active maintenance with a recent release 31 days ago and ongoing repository activity.

License in practice: Apache-2.0 permissive license allows commercial and private use with minimal restrictions; you must include a copy of the license and state significant changes.

Quickstart:

pip install robotcode-core

from robotcode.core import ...
# Import and use core types and utilities from robotcode-core

Requires Python 3.10 or later; supports CPython and PyPy implementations.

Verify before relying:

- What specific core classes and type definitions are exported and their intended use patterns
- Whether this package is typically installed directly or as a transitive dependency of RobotCode tools
