# sf-hamilton — This package has moved to apache-hamilton. Install apache-hamilton instead.

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 169.7K/mo

## What it is and what it does

sf-hamilton is a redirect package that points to apache-hamilton, the project's new home under the Apache Software Foundation. Installing sf-hamilton automatically pulls in apache-hamilton as its sole runtime dependency. The package itself contains no functionality—it exists only to guide users from the old package name to the new one.

Since all actual behavior comes from apache-hamilton, the package serves as a migration bridge. Users who already depend on sf-hamilton will continue to work, but the project documentation and active development now occur under the apache-hamilton name.

Use it for:

- Migrate existing code that depends on sf-hamilton without breaking imports or requiring immediate refactoring.
- Serve as a temporary shim for projects transitioning from sf-hamilton to apache-hamilton in their dependency declarations.
- Maintain backward compatibility during the package rename from sf-hamilton to apache-hamilton.

## Worth the install?

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

This package is a redirect to apache-hamilton; installing it pulls in apache-hamilton instead, which provides a declarative framework for building data transformation pipelines.

No—install apache-hamilton directly instead. sf-hamilton is a deprecated redirect with no independent functionality. It exists only to point you to apache-hamilton. Using the new package name avoids the extra indirection and aligns with the project's current Apache-managed home.

## Install

pip install sf-hamilton
uv add sf-hamilton
poetry add sf-hamilton
