# sensai-utils — Utilities from sensAI, the Python library for sensible AI

License: permissive · Maintenance: aging · Downloads: 386.9K/mo

## What it is and what it does

sensai-utils is a lightweight extraction of the utility module from sensAI, a Python library for AI applications. It provides general-purpose utility classes that are not specific to AI use cases and can be used independently. The package allows developers to access sensAI's utility functionality without installing the full sensAI library and its additional dependencies.

The package is a single module (sensai.utils) with minimal dependencies—only typing-extensions at runtime. It's designed as a stepping stone: you can start with sensai-utils for utilities alone, then upgrade to the full sensAI library at any time by installing sensai with the same version number. The project is maintained as a subset that mirrors sensAI's version numbering.

Use it for:

- Use it when you need sensAI's utility classes but want to avoid sensAI's full dependency tree
- Use it as a lightweight foundation before potentially upgrading to the full sensAI library
- Use it to access general-purpose helper classes in projects that don't require AI functionality
- Use it in environments where minimizing dependencies is a priority

## Worth the install?

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

Provides general-purpose utility classes extracted from sensAI, usable independently without sensAI's full dependency footprint.

Yes, if you need sensAI's utilities without the full library's overhead. The package has low install friction, permissive licensing, and no known vulnerabilities. However, maintenance is aging (298 days since last release), so verify that the utilities you need are stable and that the project's support aligns with your requirements before adopting it in production.

## Install

pip install sensai-utils
uv add sensai-utils
poetry add sensai-utils

## Installing sensai-utils

Before you install: Low install friction with a single lightweight runtime dependency (typing-extensions). Maintenance status is aging—last release was 298 days ago, though the repository remains active and unarchived.

License in practice: MIT license permits commercial and private use with minimal restrictions, requiring only license and copyright notice retention.

Quickstart:

pip install sensai-utils

from sensai import utils
# Use utility classes from sensai.utils

Verify before relying:

- What specific utility classes are included and their intended use cases beyond AI applications
- Compatibility with Python versions beyond 3.10 and 3.11 (requires_python is unspecified)
- Active maintenance cadence and whether 298 days since last release indicates ongoing support
