# scverse-misc — Miscellaneous utility code used by scverse packages

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 951.6K/mo

## What it is and what it does

scverse-misc is a utility library that centralizes common code shared across packages in the scverse ecosystem. It reduces duplication by providing reusable helpers and utility functions that multiple scverse packages depend on. The package is lightweight, with only two runtime dependencies (session-info2 and typing-extensions), and requires Python 3.12 or newer.

The package is actively maintained and distributed as a pure Python wheel, making installation straightforward. It is part of the scverse project infrastructure and serves as a foundation for other packages in that ecosystem. Documentation is available, though the specific utilities exposed are not detailed in the description excerpt.

Use it for:

- As a dependency for scverse packages that need access to shared utility functions and helpers.
- For developers working within the scverse ecosystem who want to use common utilities without reimplementing them.
- As a foundation for reducing code duplication across multiple related scientific Python packages.

## Worth the install?

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

Provides shared utility functions and helpers used across scverse packages, reducing code duplication in the scverse ecosystem.

Yes, if you are developing or using other scverse packages—it is a lightweight, actively maintained utility library with no known vulnerabilities. If you are not part of the scverse ecosystem, installation is not necessary unless a scverse package explicitly requires it as a dependency.

## Install

pip install scverse-misc
uv add scverse-misc
poetry add scverse-misc

## Installing scverse-misc

Before you install: Low friction: pure Python wheel with only two lightweight runtime dependencies (session-info2 and typing-extensions). Active maintenance with a release 27 days ago and recent commits.

License in practice: BSD 3-Clause License permits commercial and private use with minimal restrictions; you may use, modify, and distribute the code provided you retain copyright notices and disclaimers.

Quickstart:

pip install scverse-misc

import scverse_misc
# Use utilities provided by the package

Requires Python 3.12 or newer.

Verify before relying:

- What specific utilities or functions this package exports and how they are typically used by downstream scverse packages.
- Whether this package is intended for direct end-user use or primarily as an internal dependency for scverse ecosystem packages.
